Personality tests. Ghost hunting. Crop circles. Mayan Doomsday. What do all these have in common? None can quite live up the rigor of actual facts or science and yet they all attract passionate supporters anyway. Divided into broad sections covering the easily disproved to the wildly speculative to wishful thinking and of course hucksterism, Pseudoscience is a romp through much more than bad science-it's a light-hearted look into why we insist on believing in things such as Big Foot, astrology, and the existence of aliens. Did you know, for example, that you can tell a person's future by touching their butt? Rumpology. It's a thing, but not really. Or that Stanley Kubrick made a fake moon landing film for the US government? Except he didn't. Or that spontaneous human combustion is real? It ain't, but it can be explained scientifically"-- Provided by publisher. 0aPseudoscience 4aPseudociencia  0aQuacks and quackery 4aCharlataneria 1 aPedersen, Nate  1http://id.loc.gov/resources/instances/23950162  4http://id.loc.gov/ontologies/bibframe/instanceOf1http://id.loc.gov/resources/works/23950162  aDLC bibframe2marc v2.10g20250728qDLCuhttps://github.com/lcnetdev/bibframe2marc/releases/tag/v2.10
