Overview

This is a really unique book. Most books about science deal with one topic and they take science seriously. But Rixta Francis has realised that most science is not based on facts, but on beliefs and fantasies. The book is written in an easy-reading, non-scientific style and it explains about 11 different topics why most science is full of holes and why we should never blindly believe scientists. The topics are germs, evolution, animal intelligence, climate change, medical research, astronomy, genes, drugs and other medicines, archaeology, the brain and food. This book is not so much meant to educate, as to make the readers think for themselves. Once you have read this book you will never look at science the same way again. Also suitable as a gift with a hint .
