Synopsis
Martin Gardner is best known for his many popular books about science and mathematics, but in this collection he demonstrates that his interests encompass nearly everything else as well. No one will agree with all of Gardner's views, but it is hard to imagine a reader who will not find them exciting, provocative, and a pleasure to read.

From the Publisher
"Like most anthologies of essays by people of varied interests, this is an absolute hodgepodge of subjects, changing topics with the rapidity of a dictionary. There is no order to what comes next other than dividing the essays from the reviews and presenting each in chronological order. This gives a delightfully serendipitous quality that makes the reader eager to see what might come next." -- Paul Cardwell, Jr., The Denison Daily Post
About the Author

Buckley Jr., and Science: Good, Bad and Bogus. For many years he was also a contributing editor to the Skeptical Inquirer.
