Publisher's Synopsis
In a world full of false information, prejudices, myths, deceits and poor knowledge, nobody is the possessor of the supreme truth or has the definitive answers to our questions (not even Google). However, logical and skeptical thinking is our weapon to combat false argumentation, crazy reasoning and superstition. It is a difficult process that requires our full attention, but it is worth it. The Universe's Guide to Skeptics will explain the principles of skeptical thinking and teach you how it has served to debunk some of the greatest conspiracy myths, fallacies, and theories, from homeopathy and UFOs to ghosts. The hand of Steve Novella - and his inseparable accomplices Bob Novella, Cara Santa Maria, Jay Novella and Evan Bernstein - will acquire essential skills to avoid superstitious thinking and to deny your relatives, companions and neighbors who believe that the Earth is flat and that we never got to the moon. Are you ready to question your current knowledge, your perception and your beliefs?
