Description
People take great pride in the scientific culture in which they live. But large parts of society are in fact awash with ideas and preconceptions that are far removed from actual science. Successful science author John Grant turns his attention to this phenomenon, from pyramidology to the law of attraction, paranormal activity and the search for Bigfoot and Atlantis. In a text full of witty observations, delightful asides and deft skewering, Grant is unafraid to expose some of the most popular false beliefs.
