About this title

Synopsis:

Some say it’s science; John Grant says it’s bogus. Fans of the hard facts will welcome this engaging follow-up to Discarded Science and Corrupted Science. Grant takes a hard and lively look at pseudoscience, speculating on whether it’s just entertaining folly or (as many scientists believe), a threat to civilization. He touches on New Age twaddle, from Deepak Chopra to The Secret; the so-called power of crystals; crypto-creatures; the UFO phenomenon” in all its glory; and those who interpret the Bible as accurate science, history, and prophecy. This will generate enough controversy to guarantee plenty of debate and reviews!

About the Author:

John Grant is an award-winning author of many nonfiction books on film, art and fantasy, as well as a number of novels. His popular science books include Discarded Science: Ideas that Seemed Good at the Time and Corrupted Science: Fraud, Ideology and Politics in Science. He was co-editor with John Clute of the standard reference work The Encyclopedia of Fantasy, author of all three editions of The Encyclopedia of Walt Disney's Animated Characters, and co-author of The Chesley Awards: A Retrospective.

He has received the Hugo Award (twice), the World Fantasy Award, the Locus Award, the Chesley Award and a number of others – including a rare British Science Fiction Association Special Award for his role in the Clute/Nicholls Encyclopedia of Science Fiction.
