Synopsis
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., Some say it s science; John Grant says it s bogus. Fans of the hard facts will welcome this engaging follow-up to "Discarded Science" and "Corrupted Science." Grant takes a hard and lively look at pseudoscience, speculating on whether it s just entertaining folly or (as many scientists believe), a threat to civilization. He touches on New Age twaddle, from Deepak Chopra to "The Secret"; the so-called power of crystals; crypto-creatures; the UFO phenomenon in all its glory; and those who interpret the Bible as accurate science, history, and prophecy. This will generate enough controversy to guarantee plenty of debateand reviews "

    Great experience. I ordered a luxury hardcover for which the condition of the book is important and the packing was great and the item was as described. I asked questions during the process and the seller was responsive and helpful. I would definitely buy again from this seller

    Thank you William for the book and the kind note! The book is as described and it's a great source of knowledge concerning North American Geology. It was very well packaged and arrived within the mentioned times.
