Description:
In this richly entertaining and highly readable volume, you'll enjoy David Mills' irreverent challenge to the charlatans of science fraud. You'll be shocked to learn:
* Why most popular Self-Help books are filled with scientific misstatements, mythology, and harmful advice.
* Why chiropractic healthcare is a religion, based on the phony theory of an Iowa grocer and fish peddler.
* Why lie-detectors are a "sick joke," often implicating innocent people.
* Why really our public schools are a hopeless debacle and a combat zone.
* Why psychotherapy and the self-esteem movement are witchcraft.
* Why police crime labs routinely and deliberately falsify test results.
* Why religion -- all religion -- is derived from ancient superstition.
* Why you can never judge a person's character or truthfulness by his appearance or by "looking into his eyes."
* Why sex education has failed to safeguard our children from teen pregnancy and disease, and why a little pornography may be good for you!
* Why and how you can teach your baby to read -- starting at birth.
* Why pseudoscience is rapidly subverting American culture.
