Maybe you know someone who swears by the reliability of psychics or who is in regular contact with angels. Or perhaps you're trying to find a nice way of dissuading someone from wasting money on a homeopathy cure. Or you met someone at a party who insisted the Holocaust never happened or that no one ever walked on the moon. How do you find a gently persuasive way of steering people away from unfounded beliefs, bogus cures, conspiracy theories, and the like? Longtime skeptic Guy P. Harrison shows you how in this down to earth, entertaining exploration of commonly held extraordinary claims. A veteran journalist, Harrison has not only surveyed a vast body of literature, but has also interviewed leading scientists, explored 'the most haunted house in America,' frolicked in the inviting waters of the Bermuda Triangle, and even talked to a 'contrite Roswell alien.'

Håller med föregående recensioner men boken är väl värd att lyssna och inte svår att hänga med i för mindre upplysta människor. Alltid kul med myter.

En bra book att träna lyssna på engelskt språk för de som inte är så duktiga på språket.

Lite väl amerikansk. Inga nyheter för någorlunda upplysta människor.
