The author captures a treasure trove of mathematics used to model the different activities in a juggler's repertoire. He provides a stimulating collection of mostly self-contained mathematical essays about a wide range of disciplines like combinatorics, graph theory, knot theory, mechanics, differential equations, control theory, and robotics. Anybody who is not put off by the word "mathematics" in the title of this book should have a good time reading it.
