Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time - Shermer, Michael

Clean, tight, unmarked; price clipped; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; With a no-holds-barred assault on popular superstitions and prejudices, science historian Shermer debunks these extraordinary nonsensical claims and explores the very human reasons we find otherworldly phenomena, conspiracy theories and cults so appealing. He describes his confrontations with those who take advantage of people's gullibility to advance their own, often self-serving, agendas. As a champion of science and history, he brilliantly exposes the all-too-human figures hiding behind the imposing curtain of myth and superstition.
