Colección de artículos contra la parapsicología de los años 80. Correcto, pero poco hilvanado como libro. Muy repetitivo, a veces.

Compendio de artículos y críticas de libros de Martin Gardner, el GRAN Martin Gardner. Los temas que trata son muchos y muy variados, desde la ufología a la topología algebraica, pasando por psicocinesis, precognición, ciencia en general... todo un elenco de temas interesantes comentados por una gran mente. Muy divertido y fácil de leer, además de extremadamente interesante. Las pistas de la bibliografía son para tener en cuenta.
