Présentation de l'éditeur
From pseudoscience to incorrect assumptions and unfounded belief, science hasn't always been right.
Contrary to recent debate on the internet, nowadays we are fairly confident that the earth is not flat and that we are in fact inhabitants of a spherical planet. However, this was not always the case, with a widespread belief that if you reached the horizon, you would simply fall off into space.
Along with assumptions about the health benefits of heroin, the advantages of injecting monkey glands into the human body and bumps on your head being indicators of personality and temperament, science has a colourful past. In this entertaining and informative look at a dubious history, Graeme Donald examines the origins of some of the most extraordinary and mind-boggling scientific theories of the past.
Biographie de l'auteur
Graeme Donald is the author of nine books about popular misconceptions and the meaning of words. He has written for many newspapers and had a column about word origins in the Today newspaper for over ten years.

Vendeur : Old Lady Who?, Horse Branch, KY, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 3 sur 5 étoiles
Soft cover. Etat : New. NEW! Collects many of the now absurd scientific facts of days gone by, like the Earth being flat. Ah, the pseudoscience has only progressed since way back then. Did you know how healthy heroin can be? Should you slit the gums of a babe to allow the teeth to come out faster? Only if you can apply soothing cocaine to ease the pain. Go to the barber to have him draw a pint of blood to remove vile humours? Fascinating read, makes you look at what we believe now more closely. N° de réf. du vendeur 001285
