About This Item
Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.: W W Norton & Co Inc, 2003. Book. New. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First edition. Quarter cloth, 352 pp. In the essays that comprise this collection-many of which originally appeared in The Skeptical Inquirer, Scientific American, and the Los Angeles Times-Martin Gardner spans the realms of science and mathematics, literature, philosophy, religion, and mysticism. He examines such scientific concepts as the possibility of multiple universes and the theory that time can go backward, and skewers Dr. Bruno Bettelheim's theory of autism, Primal Scream Therapy, and Uri Geller, who claimed to bend spoons with his mind. Offering several literary appreciations, Gardner lovingly recalls the Tin Woodman from The Wizard of Oz, Chesterton's classic The Man Who Was Thursday, and the neglected mysteries of British suspense writer, Edgar Wallace. New in new dustjacket, protected with a mylar cover..
