From the authors of Quackery, a visual and narrative history of popular ideas, phenomena, and widely held beliefs disproven by science. From the easily disproved to the wildly spec ulative, to straight-up hucksterism, Pseudoscience is a romp through much more than bad scienceits a light-hearted look into why we insist on believing in things such as Big Foot, astrology, and the existence of aliens. Did you know, for example, that you can tell a persons future by touching their butt? Rumpology. Its a thing, but not really. Or that Stanley Kubrick made a fake moon landing film for the US government? Except he didnt. Or that spontaneous human combustion is real? It aint, but it can be explained scientifically. Pseudoscienceis a wild mix of history, pop culture, and good old fashioned sciencethat not just entertains, but sheds a little light on why we all love to believe in things we know aren't true.
