Synopsis

This fair-minded, witty appraisal considers a range of crazes and quackeries that have presented themselves as science. Gardner discusses subjects including hollow earth theories, Charles Fort and the Fortean Society, Wilhelm Reich and orgone sex energy, dianetics, flying saucers, and a variety of food and medical fads.

The book has been described by The New Yorker as “a very able and even-tempered presentation”.
