From the reviews: "Read Indiscrete Thoughts for its account of the way we were and what we have become; for its sensible advice and its exuberant rhetoric." --The Mathematical Intelligencer "Learned, thought-provoking, politically incorrect, delighting in paradox, and likely to offend-but everywhere readable and entertaining." --The American Mathematical Monthly "It is about mathematicians, the way they think, and the world in which the live. It is 260 pages of Rota calling it like he sees it... Readers are bound to find his observations amusing if not insightful. Gian-Carlo Rota has written the sort of book that few mathematicians could write. What will appeal immediately to anyone with an interest in research mathematics are the stories he tells about the practice of modern mathematics." --MAA Reviews "This is a paperback reprint, in the Modern Birkhauser Classics series, of a book first published in 1997. It has aged very well, and richly deserves its inclusion in this series. ... an excellent book, fun to read, and interesting to think about." (Fernando Q. Gouvea, MathDL, January, 2008)
