A rollicking visual and narrative history of popular ideas, phenomena, and widely held beliefs disproven by science. The Bermuda Triangle. Personality tests. Ghost hunting. Crop circles. Mayan Doomsday. What do all these have in common? None can quite live up the rigor of actual facts or science and yet they all attract passionate supporters anyway.   Divided into broad sections covering the easily disproved to the wildly speculative to wishful thinking and of course hucksterism, Pseudoscience is a romp through much more than bad science—it’s a light-hearted look into why we insist on believing in things such as Big Foot, astrology, and the existence of aliens. Did you know, for example, that you can tell a person’s future by touching their butt? Rumpology. It’s a thing, but not really. Or that Stanley Kubrick made a fake moon landing film for the US government? Except he didn’t. Or that spontaneous human combustion is real? It ain’t, but it can be explained scientifically.   From the authors of Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything, Pseudoscience is a wild mix of history, pop culture, and good old fashioned science--one that not just entertains, but sheds a little light on why we all love to believe in a few things we know aren't true.

On the morning of 20 January 1607 huge regions of south Wales and south West England were flooded as people set about their daily tasks. The damage was so extreme it was for a time believed to have been a tsunami but this has been discredited. Victims saw it as a repeat of Noah's Flood, so as they were trying to survive, they must have been struggling with the belief that God was punishing them for their sins.It provides accounts from the time and images show people and animals bobbing about in the floodwaters, with others in trees, clinging for their lives as they hoped to be rescued. Claims have been made that the flood reached 60 feet deep in some places, and the waters took many days to subside whilst wagons and boats were used to rescue survivors.The book traces the extent of the disaster, tracks the flood damages and the long term aftermath. It places it in context of the times in which it occurred, and raises questions over how the region would cope of the disaster is repeated.
