Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition and Other Confusions of Our Time by Michael Shermer |
My gripe about this book is that it was based on a series of articles and discussions published in other journals. Sometimes this is not a problem but what I was hoping would be a focussed examination of a particular topic was instead an almost random scatter-gun of entertaining, interesting but loosely linked articles. Only near the end did I feel it get to grips with its title but I was already peeved by then.
