Synopsis

With characteristic wit and humor, he explains how science affects our daily lives in diverse areas such as medicine, poetry, politics, the environment, and the paranormal-cheerfully debunking some popular pseudo-scientific myths along the way.John Fleming's delightful cartoons add wry comment to the text, making this a book enjoyable to read time and again.
