London: Atlantic Books, Date: 2008. Hardback small, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear, barcode sticker at rear, extensive written annotation rear endpapers. 162 pp. Damian Thompson, a British sociologist and journalist, From conspiracy theories to alternative medicine, people are experiencing an epidemic of untrue descriptions of the world. Following in the footsteps of 'The God Delusion' (Richard Dawkins) and 'The End of Faith' (Sam Harris), this book is a defense of scientific proof in an age of fabrication. We are being swamped with dangerous nonsense. Examples abound: From 9/11 conspiracy theories to Holocaust denial to the revision of ancient history in 'The Da Vinci Code', from the Book of Mormon's account of settling the New World, to the belief in a link between the MMR vaccine and autism. We are experiencing an epidemic of demonstrably untrue descriptions of the world. This pandemic isn't about religious faith or untestable truths. Rather, it is about everyday beliefs and woolly thinking that contradict clear evidence. 2008. Atlantic Books ISBN 1843546752 9781843546757 [AU]
