Do polygraph tests really detect lies? Can memories be implanted?
Is subliminal perception a reality? What is the relationship
between science and belief?Experts in the fields of
physical/biological science, psychology, philosophy, social
science, and forensic science bring their perspectives to
controversies that affect the way we think and how we perceive
reality and the natural world. From science's influence on beauty
to antiscience in our universities and from UFO mythologies to
near-death experiences, this volume spans the gamut of
pseudoscience today.Contributors include James Alcock, Susan
