520    We live in a world overflowing with misinformation, bias, 
       myths, deception, and flawed knowledge. There really are 
       no ultimate authority figures--no one has the secret, and 
       there is no place to look up the definitive answers to our
       questions (not even Google). In this book, the authors 
       explain the tenets of skeptical thinking, and debunk some 
       of the biggest scientific myths, fallacies, and conspiracy
       theories. You'll learn critical thinking skills, and how 
       to combat sloppy reasoning, bad arguments, and 
       superstitious thinking. -- adapted from Amazon.com 
       summary. 
520    "It is intimidating to realize that we live in a world 
       overflowing with misinformation, bias, myths, deception, 
       and flawed knowledge. There really are no ultimate 
       authority figures--no one has the secret, and there is no 
       place to look up the definitive answers to our questions 
       (not even Google). Luckily, THE SKEPTICS' GUIDE TO THE 
       UNIVERSE is your map through this maze of modern life. 
       Here Dr. Steven Novella--along with Bob Novella, Cara 
       Santa Maria, Jay Novella, and Evan Bernstein--will explain
       the tenets of skeptical thinking and debunk some of the 
       biggest scientific myths, fallacies, and conspiracy 
       theories--from anti-vaccines to homeopathy, UFO sightings 
       to N-rays. You'll learn the difference between science and
       pseudoscience, essential critical thinking skills, ways to
       discuss conspiracy theories with that crazy co-worker of 
       yours, and how to combat sloppy reasoning, bad arguments, 
       and superstitious thinking. "--Amazon.com.
