Description
In this lively collection, Gardner examines the rich and hilarious variety of pseudoscientific conjectures that dominate the media today. With a special emphasis on parapsychology and occultism, these witty pieces address the evidence put forth to support claims of ESP, psychokinesis, faith healing, and other pseudoscience.
Reviews
Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, you will come away having learnt something from this book...I suspect because it is such a definitive book and other publishers still put out books about such 'discoveries' that there hasn't been a follow-up so this makes this book an important read.
