The Skeptic's Dictionary | Robert Carroll

This book is the definitive short-answer debunking of nearly everything skeptical. 818 pages covering nearly 400 definitions and arguments on topics ranging from acupuncture to zombies.

A lively, commonsense trove of detailed information on all things supernatural, occult, paranormal, and pseudoscientific.

It covers such categories as:

• alternative medicine
• cryptozoology
• extraterrestrials and UFOs
• frauds and hoaxes
• junk science
• logic and perception
• New Age energy
• and the psychic.

Should be on every skeptic’s bookshelf. An invaluable reference!

Whether it’s the latest shark cartilage scam, or some new ‘repressed memory’ idiocy that besets you, I suggest you carry a copy of this dictionary at all times, or at least have it within reach as first aid for psychic attacks. We need all the help we can get. (James Randi)
