Sad day, details courtesy of Randi's blog. I couldn't say how many of Martin's books I read, he had a unique talent for making science intelligible and entertaining to the layman.

Oh no, that is sad news. A prolific writer and clear thinker, he made his mark on the world.

The other way to look at it is that for 95 years, we were blessed by the presence of this brilliant human, who was (by all accounts) a tremendously decent fellow as well.
