For more than twenty-five years, Martin Gardner was "Scientific
American's" renowned provocateur of popular math. His yearly
gatherings of short and inventive problems were easily his most
anticipated math columns. Loyal readers would savor the wit and
elegance of his explorations in physics, probability, topology, and
chess, among others. Grouped by subject and arrayed from easiest to
hardest, the puzzles gathered here, which complement the lengthier,
more involved problems in "The Colossal Book of Mathematics," have
been selected by Gardner for their illuminating; and often
bewildering; solutions. Filled with over 300 illustrations, this
new volume even contains nine new mathematical gems that Gardner,
now ninety, has been gathering for the last decade. No amateur or
expert math lover should be without this indispensable volume; a
capstone to Gardner's seventy-year career.
This unique compendium highlights the theory of computation,
particularly logic and automata theory. Special emphasis is on
computer science applications including loop invariants, program
correctness, logic programming and algorithmic proof
techniques.This innovative volume differs from standard textbooks,
by building on concepts in a different order, using fewer theorems
with simpler proofs. It has added many new examples, problems and
answers. It can be used as an undergraduate text at most
universities.
This text presents the formal concepts underlying Computer
Science.It starts with a wide introduction to Logic with an
emphasis on reasoning and proof, with chapters on Program
Verification and Prolog.The treatment of computability with
Automata and Formal Languages stands out in several ways:The style
is appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate classes.

In 1952, Martin Gardner wrote the book Fads and Fallacies in the
Name of Science, which has become a modern classic of the skeptical
movement. He is best known as the Father of Recreational
Mathematics, but was also a frank critic of pseudoscientists and a
contributor to the Skeptical Inquirer magazine.Marcello Truzzi was
one of the founders of the Committee for the Scientific
Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal in 1976. He left that and
founded the Center for Scientific Anomalies Research, which was
more aligned with his views.Dana Richards presents the unedited,
colorful correspondence between these two well-known figures within
the skeptical movement as they probed and wrestled with fundamental
questions such as:

Dana’s account of his passage as a common seaman from Boston around Cape Horn to California, and back, is a remarkable portrait of the seagoing life. Bringing to the public’s attention for the first time the plight of the most exploited segment of the American working class, he forever changed readers’ romanticized perceptions of life at sea.
