By tracking down the facts and citing experts in a multitude of fields, Philip Ward points out the senseless ideas that we have come to accept as fact. You’ll be amazed and baffled and might think that everything you were ever taught was wrong. Do you believe…
- Absinthe is a hallucinogen
- Accutane use leads to suicide
- Acne is caused by eating chocolate and stress
- Algebra can make 2 = 1
- Altars are of Christian origin
- Arctic is significantly colder than the rest of the world.
All correct? NO, ALL WRONG! And those are just some of the A’s!
Newly updated with today’s common misconceptions and available as a single-volume paperback for the first time, The Book of Common Fallacies exposes the truth behind hundreds of commonly held false beliefs.
