En 'Extravagancias y Disparates', Martin Gardner, con su característico rigor científico y un chispeante sentido del humor, se adentra en el vasto campo de la irracionalidad y la superstición. A través de ensayos amenos y de fácil comprensión, desenmascara las falacias con las que gurús, telepredicadores y charlatanes bombardean a los consumidores de la prensa escrita y visual. Este libro es una defensa de la racionalidad frente a las avanzadas de la irracionalidad en el mundo, explorando temas como la pseudociencia y las creencias religiosas extrañas.
