AUTHOR:James Randi
CATEGORY:general
COMMENT:One of the more widely-circulated skeptical books, <cite>Flim-Flam!</cite> is Randi's overview of various aspects of paranormal claims. Topics include the Cottingley Fairies, TM, some UFO claims, psi researchers such as <a href="/bibq/targ,russell">Russell Targ</a> and Harold Puthoff, and several contenders for Randi's famous $10,000 offer. Randi is the one person best associated with the skeptics' movement, and <cite>Flim-Flam!</cite> is a strong sample of his spiritedness in exposing deception and fraud. Indispensable.
