The Bibliography of Martin Gardner

The first comprehensive bibliography of the publications of polymath Martin Gardner!

Martin Gardner (1914–2010) was a polymath whose international reputation extended from mathematics to literature, philosophy to science, and magic to fiction. This comprehensive bibliography covers every aspect of Gardner's lengthy publishing career, from 1930 to 2010, and features detailed descriptions and indexes of his writings on mathematics and many other topics. Editor Dana Richards worked directly with Gardner on this project from 1978 until Gardner's death; it draws on the two hundred boxes of Gardner's mathematical papers held in the Stanford archives.

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. Professor Richards has worked closely with Martin Gardner over three decades. On a book dedication page, Gardner described him as a "bibliographer extraordinaire".
