- Summary:
- "Martin Gardner was a polymath whose international reputation extended from mathematics to literature, from philosophy to science, and from magic to fiction. He was the father of the modern skeptical movement. This comprehensive bibliography covers every aspect of Martin Gardner's lengthy publishing career, from 1930 to 2010, and includes detailed descriptions and indices of his writings on mathematics and many other topics. Over two hundred boxes of Martin Gardner's mathematical papers have until now existed only in the Stanford archives, and this bibliography puts them all into perspective. Everything in this book is being published for the first time. Dana Richards worked directly with Martin Gardner from 1978 to 2010 on this project, and continues to access files in his family's possession. On a book dedication page Gardner described him as a "bibliographer extraordinaire". Dana Richards is a professor of Computer Science at George Mason University and has previously edited two Gardner books: The Colossal Book of Short Puzzles and Problems and Dear Martin/Dear Marcello: Gardner and Truzzi on Skepticism. This book includes a foreword by Donald Knuth, who dedicated his book Selected Papers on Fun and Games to Martin Gardner"-- Provided by publisher.
