Reviews
""What would it take to create a world in which fantasy is not confused for fact and public policy is based on objective reality? I don't know for sure. But A GOOD PLACE TO START WOULD BE FOR EVERYONE ON EARTH TO READ THIS BOOK." --Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist, director of the Hayden Planetarium, author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry"Prometheus, the premiere publisher of skeptical literature, here issues a book that deserves to be shelved alongside the works of such giants of the field as [James] Randi, [Michael] Shermer, [Paul] Kurtz, and [Joe] Nickell. With a combination of lively prose and keen analytical reasoning, the author examines some of contemporary culture's most commonly held beliefs... A valuable, not to mention very entertainingly written, addition to the literature of skepticism."--Booklist starred review"This book will blow readers' minds (and it should) by making them realize how easy it is to hold a strong belief without applying either critical thinking or skepticism. Harrison...pokes gaping holes into common beliefs in the supernatural...and the tendency to believe that only personal religious tenets are correct despite total ignorance about other religious doctrine... Harrison guides us gently but firmly along an explorative path of our collective illogic, strong tendencies toward easy answers and magical thinking, and susceptibility to confirmation bias. He doesn't judge readers for buying into beliefs that have no real basis in fact and science, but instead asks them to second-guess the tendency to readily accept the unproven and the illogical as true. VERDICT: An outstanding book that is required reading no matter what you believe."--Library Journal"A journalist turns a skeptical eye on beliefs ranging from astrology to Atlantis, showing that scientific discovery can be just as fascinating as myth." --Science News "Rarely has a skeptic gone to battle against nonsense with the warmth and humor....[A] grand tour though the bizarre ecosystem of irrational beliefs and extraordinary claims. Harrison deftly and compellingly demonstrates how science and reality are preferable to superstition and delusion.... It is an ideal text for an introductory Science and Pseudoscience or Critical Thinking course. It is clear, comprehensive, non-threatening yet thought provoking while remaining accessible. It's also a much welcomed and needed addition to every skeptic's reading list."--Skeptic Magazine"This book is a must-read for skeptics and non-skeptics alike. It will excite all critical thinkers and will get believers to reexamine many popular beliefs that they think are true. I recommend it to all who are concerned and deeply worried about the 'gigantic cloud of danger' looming large over our world today due to popular dogmatic and irrational beliefs."--Skeptical Inquirer"[An] absolute 'must read'... Each belief is covered with a general overview, the rational behind them and the scientific research that fails to support them, all presented with liberal witticism. Harrison champions the need for maintaining constant vigilance to avoid becoming prey to unfounded beliefs that on the face of things, probably won't cause any harm but could well lead to falling victim to more dangerous, erroneous beliefs. Well written, thoroughly researched and entertaining, this important book teaches the importance of being a skeptic."--Monsters and Critics "[I]f you do not want your teenagers growing up believing that an angel is watching over them, or the Bible contains a code that reveals the future, or that global warming is purely a political issue, then give them this book."--Science Fact and Fiction Concatenation, "Prometheus, the premiere publisher of skeptical literature, here issues a book that deserves to be shelved alongside the works of such giants of the field as [James] Randi, [Michael] Shermer, [Paul] Kurtz, and [Joe] Nickell.

Others believe that aliens from outer space helped build the pyramids or their bodies are stored in Area 51. Harrison says that humans are a believing species and, as such, prone to believe in things that lack any scientific proof and can be absurd." -Bookviews by Alan Caruba "Rarely has a skeptic gone to battle against nonsense with the warmth and humor found in 50 Popular Beliefs ....[A] grand tour though the bizarre ecosystem of irrational beliefs and extraordinary claims.
