The Borderlands of Science cover

In The Borderlands of Science Michael Shermer takes us to the place where real science (such as the big bang theory), borderland science (superstring theory), and just plain nonsense (Big Foot) collide with one another. An excursion through the borderlands of science, history, and historical biography, enlivened by the many interesting stories and insights involving many of history's most famous scientists.

Review from previous edition ...a delightful antidote to the current proliferations of media-hyped pseudoscience. * Sunday Times *
splendidly entertaining * The Guardian *
