About the Book

In this richly entertaining and highly readable volume, you'll enjoy David Mills' irreverent challenge to the charlatans of science fraud. You'll be shocked to learn:

* Why most popular Self-Help books are filled with scientific misstatements, mythology, and harmful advice.

* Why chiropractic healthcare is a religion, based on the phony theory of an Iowa grocer and fish peddler.

* Why lie-detectors are a "sick joke," often implicating innocent people.

* Why really our public schools are a hopeless debacle and a combat zone.

* Why psychotherapy and the self-esteem movement are witchcraft.

* Why police crime labs routinely and deliberately falsify test results.

* Why religion -- all religion -- is derived from ancient superstition.

* Why you can never judge a person's character or truthfulness by his appearance or by "looking into his eyes."

* Why sex education has failed to safeguard our children from teen pregnancy and disease, and why a little pornography may be good for you!

* Why and how you can teach your baby to read -- starting at birth.

* Why pseudoscience is rapidly subverting American culture.
