ISBN: 9780879756444.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot since his Science: Good, Bad and Bogus has there been such a bountiful offering of the delightful combination of drollery and horse sense that has made Martin Gardner the undisputed dean of the critics of pseudoscience.\n\nIn The New Age: Notes of a Fringe-Watcher, Gardner confronts new trends in pseudoscience and the paranormal: from the much-publicized past-life exploits of Shirley MacLaine to the latest in perpetual-motion machines, from \"prime-time preachers\" to the \"channeling mania\" of the past few years.\n\nMany of these pieces were published in Gardners column in the Skeptical Inquirer. Others appeared in the New York Times, The New York Review of Books, Discover magazine, and other publications. Gardner has added forewords and\/or afterwords to most of the chapters to give background, to bring recent developments to light, or to include responses from his critics.\n\nDestined to be a classic of skeptical literature, this book will be a welcome treat for Gardner fans and a rewarding adventure for his new readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Prometheus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45251922231349,"sku":"ByrdShop_0879756446","price":62.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780879756444_671cc7f2-44b9-4569-8b06-09ecaa490b11.jpg?v=1779918914","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-new-age-9780879756444","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
