| Sumario: | "In a post-truth, fake news world, we are particularly susceptible to the claims of pseudoscience.

This book examines pseudoscience from a variety of perspectives, through case studies, analysis, and personal accounts that show how to recognize pseudoscience, why it is so widely accepted, and how to advocate for real science."--Back cover |
