Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This classic collection examines the rich and hilarious variety of pseudoscientific conjecture that dominates the media. Witty pieces address the evidence for ESP, psychokinesis, faith healing, and a variety of pseudosciences. Included are readers' letters and Gardner's replies.
