Martin Gardner wrote the Mathematical Games column for Scientific American for twentyfive years and published more than seventy books on topics as diverse as magic, philosophy, religion, pseudoscience and Alice in Wonderland. His informal, recreational approach to mathematics delighted countless readers and inspired many to pursue careers in mathematics and the sciences. Gardner's illuminating autobiography is a disarmingly candid selfportrait of the man evolutionary theorist Stephen Jay Gould called our 'single brightest beacon ' for the defense of rationality and good science against mysticism and antiintellectualism. Gardner takes readers from his childhood in Oklahoma to his college days at the University of Chicago, his service in the navy and his varied and wideranging professional pursuits. Before becoming a columnist for Scientific American, he was a caseworker in Chicago during the Great Depression, a reporter for the Tulsa Tribune, an editor for Humpty Dumpty and a shortstory writer for Esquire, among other jobs. Gardner shares colorful anecdotes about the many fascinating people he met and mentored and voices strong opinions on the subjects that matter to him most, from his love of mathematics to his uncompromising stance against pseudoscience. For Gardner, our mathematically structured universe is undiluted hocuspocusa marvelous enigma, in other words.Undiluted HocusPocus offers a rare, intimate look at Gardner's life and work and the experiences that shaped both. .
