The Borderlands of Science | Michael Shermer

In The Borderlands of Science, Michael Shermer takes us to the place where real science, borderline science, and plain nonsense collide.

He argues that while science is the best lens through which to view the world, it is often difficult to decipher where valid science leaves off and borderland, or “fuzzy” science begins. To solve this dilemma, he looks at a range of topics that put this boundary line in high relief.

This enlightening book will help readers stay grounded in common sense amid the flurry of supposedly scientific theories that inundate us every day.
