Book Description	Crossnumbers are the mathematical equivalents of crossword puzzles. The earlier puzzles in the book only require simple arithmetic and basic knowledge, but, as the sequence continues, so the level of difficulty increases. The later ones also demand some enjoyable logical reasoning to tease out the solutions. For the final puzzles, access to a calculator would be helpful and some would say essential. Anyone who enjoys arithmetic and likes to search for patterns and relationships between numbers will find much to please them in this book.
About the Author	John Parker was born in London in 1929, the son of Gilbert and Irene Parker. He graduated from the London School of Economics as a social anthropologist and spent much of his working life teaching mathematics in secondary schools and teacher training colleges, first in Kenya and then in Surrey, Nottinghamshire and Devon. At one time he had hopes of becoming a playwright and had three plays broadcast on Radio Four, but these hopes fizzled out. He has written articles for mathematics journals and for Latin language magazines: since retiring from full-time teaching he has written and published Reading Latin Epitaphs and The Platonic Solids through his own desk-top company, Cressar Publications. Crossnumbers are published by Tarquin and Ad Hoc, Ad Lib, Ad Nauseam by Summersdale. He has been happily married to Shirley for over thirty years and they now live in Cornwall where John teaches Cornish, having become a language Bard of the Cornish Gorsedh in 1998. He has written extensively in Cornish, including a book of conversations, Keskowsow, and a collection of seven original pantomimes. The scripts of several more books, as yet unpublished, can be found on his website, www.johnparkercressar.co.uk.
