Description and Table of Contents

Description

The definitive work of Martin Gardner's brilliant, 70-year career, this ambitious work collects 54 inquisitive, challenging, and coruscating essays, ranging from the seeming inexplicability of quantum physics to the insoluable question of whether God exists; from the obstacles one encounters trying to talk to apes to the paradox of the significance of nothing. Illustrations.
