Homoeopathy and Its Kindred Delusions Unveiling the Truth Behind Medical Delusions and Pseudoscience【電子書籍】[ Sr. Oliver Wendell Holmes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "Homoeopathy and Its Kindred Delusions," Sr. Oliver Wendell Holmes rigorously critiques the pseudoscientific claims surrounding homeopathy, skillfully weaving a tapestry of medical history, philosophy, and an examination of human credulity. Holmes employs a satirical yet scholarly literary style, marked by incisive wit and keen observation, encouraging readers to question not just homeopathy but the broader context of medical practice in the 19th century, where science and superstition often intersected. The book stands as an important sociocultural document, part of the burgeoning discourse on empirical medicine and rational thought that characterized the period. Holmes, a prominent physician, poet, and essayist, was deeply influenced by the prevailing medical theories of his day, grappling with notions of evidence-based practice while witnessing the widespread acceptance of alternative remedies. His background in law, literature, and medicine endowed him with a unique perspective, which he deftly utilized to challenge the medical fads and delusions that, in his view, undermined genuine progress in healthcare. This book serves as both a critical analysis and a passionate polemic against the unsubstantiated beliefs surrounding alternative medicines. I highly recommend "Homoeopathy and Its Kindred Delusions" to anyone interested in the interplay between medicine and belief, as it provides a profoundly insightful exploration of the dangers of credulity and the necessity of critical thinking in health practices. Holmes'??s compelling arguments and distinctive prose make this work essential reading for both medical professionals and laypersons seeking to understand the historical context of modern medicine.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	310円
Good Science, Bad Science, Pseudoscience, and Just Plain Bunk How to Tell the Difference【電子書籍】[ Peter A. Daempfle ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞We are constantly bombarded with breaking scientific news in the media, but we are almost never provided with enough information to assess the truth of these claims. Does drinking coffee really cause cancer? Does bisphenol-A in our tin can linings really cause reproductive damage? Good Science, Bad Science, Pseudoscience, and Just Plain Bunk teaches readers how to think like a scientist to question claims like these more critically.＜/p＞＜p＞Peter A. Daempfle introduces readers to the basics of scientific inquiry, defining what science is and how it can be misused. Through provocative real-world examples, the book helps readers acquire the tools needed to distinguish scientific truth from myth. The book celebrates science and its role in society while building scientific literacy.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	5,545円
The Scientific Attitude Defending Science from Denial, Fraud, and Pseudoscience【電子書籍】[ Lee McIntyre ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞An argument that what makes science distinctive is its emphasis on evidence and scientists' willingness to change theories on the basis of new evidence.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Attacks on science have become commonplace. Claims that climate change isn't settled science, that evolution is “only a theory,” and that scientists are conspiring to keep the truth about vaccines from the public are staples of some politicians' rhetorical repertoire. Defenders of science often point to its discoveries (penicillin! relativity!) without explaining exactly why scientific claims are superior. In this book, Lee McIntyre argues that what distinguishes science from its rivals is what he calls “the scientific attitude”ーcaring about evidence and being willing to change theories on the basis of new evidence. The history of science is littered with theories that were scientific but turned out to be wrong; the scientific attitude reveals why even a failed theory can help us to understand what is special about science.＜/p＞＜p＞McIntyre offers examples that illustrate both scientific success (a reduction in childbed fever in the nineteenth century) and failure (the flawed “discovery” of cold fusion in the twentieth century). He describes the transformation of medicine from a practice based largely on hunches into a science based on evidence; considers scientific fraud; examines the positions of ideology-driven denialists, pseudoscientists, and “skeptics” who reject scientific findings; and argues that social science, no less than natural science, should embrace the scientific attitude. McIntyre argues that the scientific attitudeーthe grounding of science in evidenceーoffers a uniquely powerful tool in the defense of science.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,419円
Investigating School Psychology Pseudoscience, Fringe Science, and Controversies【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Investigating School Psychology＜/em＞ provides a fascinating exploration of the field of school psychology through the lens of pseudoscience and fringe science. Contributions from leaders in the fields of school psychology, clinical psychology, and education honor the role of science in the field while also exploring and guarding against the harms that pseudoscience can cause.＜/p＞＜p＞School psychology and, more broadly, the field of education are particularly susceptible to pseudoscience, fads, and maintaining the status quo by resisting the adoption of new ideas. Using an exhaustive review of the current literature, this book discusses various concepts in school psychology that have been largely discredited and many practices that continue to exist with little to no scientific support. Each chapter helps differentiate between dubious and evidence-based approaches while providing a useful resource for practicing school psychologists and educators to distinguish between science and pseudoscience in their everyday work with children. The book’s discussion of the harmful nature of pseudoscience in school psychology is inclusive of all students, such as students with disabilities, those diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders, those with academic problems, and all other children in schools.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Investigating School Psychology＜/em＞ is valuable supplemental reading in undergraduate and graduate courses in education and school psychology and is also a beneficial reference for practicing school psychologists to distinguish between science and pseudoscience in their practice.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	5,390円
Investigating Clinical Psychology Pseudoscience, Fringe Science, and Controversies【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Investigating Clinical Psychology＜/em＞ takes a deep dive into the field of clinical psychology through the lens of pseudoscience and fringe science. An expert panel of authors honors the role of science in the field while also exploring and guarding against the harms that pseudoscience can cause.＜/p＞＜p＞Clinicians have an ethical duty to provide the best available, evidence-based care. Engaging, accessible, and open-minded in approach, this book outlines the distinction between science and pseudoscience in order to prevent the false, and often quite harmful, effects that pseudoscientific practices can have on patients in need of mental health services. The book covers a variety of topics, including harmful therapies, purple hat therapies, animal-assisted therapies, hypnosis, and energy medicine. Featuring world-renowned voices from health care specialists to skeptics on the outside of the field gazing in, it equips readers with the skills needed to differentiate between pseudoscientific and evidence-based approaches in both study and practice.＜/p＞＜p＞Aligning with many major undergraduate textbooks for easy course integration, ＜em＞Investigating Clinical Psychology＜/em＞ is valuable supplemental reading in undergraduate and graduate courses in clinical psychology. It is also a beneficial reference for clinicians in practice, as well as anyone interested in pseudoscience within the mental health sector.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	5,558円
Science, Pseudoscience, and the Demarcation Problem【電子書籍】[ D?niel B?rdos ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This Element examines various aspects of the demarcation problem: finding a distinction between science and pseudoscience. Section 1 introduces issues surrounding pseudoscience in the recent literature. Popper's falsificationism is presented in Section 2, alongside some of its early critics, such as Thomas Kuhn and Imre Lakatos. It is followed in Section 3 by the notable criticism of the Popperian program by Larry Laudan that put the issue out of fashion for decades. Section 4 explores recent multi-criteria approaches that seek to define pseudoscience not only along a single criterion, but by considering the diversity and historical dimension of science. Section 5 introduces the problem of values (the 'new demarcation problem') and addresses how we can use values in the problem of pseudoscience. Finally, Section 6 concludes by emphasizing the need for an attitude-oriented approach over a rigid, method-based demarcation, recognizing scientific practice's evolving and multifaceted nature.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,100円
Critical Thinking, Science, and Pseudoscience Why We Can't Trust Our Brains【電子書籍】[ Caleb W. Lack, PhD ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This unique text for undergraduate courses teaches students to apply critical thinking skills across all academic disciplines by examining popular pseudoscientific claims through a multidisciplinary lens. Rather than merely focusing on critical thinking grounded in philosophy and psychology, the text incorporates the perspectives of biology, physics, medicine, and other disciplines to reinforce different categories of rational explanation. The book is also distinguished by its respectful approach to individuals whose ideas are, according to the authors, deeply flawed. Accessible and engaging, it describes what critical thinking is, why it is important, and how to learn and apply skills?using scientific methods--that promote it. The text also examines why critical thinking can be difficult to engage in and explores the psychological and social reasons why people are drawn to and find credence in extraordinary claims.＜/p＞＜p＞From alien abductions and psychic phenomena to strange creatures and unsupported alternative medical treatments, the text uses examples from a wide range of pseudoscience fields and brings evidence from diverse disciplines to critically examine these erroneous claims. Particularly timely is the text's examination of how, using the narrative of today's "culture wars," religion and culture impact science. The authors focus on how the human brain, rife with natural biases, does not process information in a rational fashion, and the social factors that prevent individuals from gaining an unbiased, critical perspective on information. Authored by a psychologist and a philosopher who have extensive experience teaching and writing on critical thinking and skeptical inquiry, this work will help students to strengthen their skills in reasoning and debate, become intelligent consumers of research, and make well-informed choices as citizens.＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞Key Features:＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜ul＞＜li＞Addresses the foundations of critical thinking and how to apply it through the popular activity of examining pseudoscience＜/li＞＜li＞Explains why humans are vulnerable to pseudoscientific claims and how critical thinking can overcome fallacies and biases＜/li＞＜li＞Reinforces critical thinking through multidisciplinary analyses of pseudoscience＜/li＞＜li＞Examines how religion and culture impact science＜/li＞＜li＞Enlightens using an engaging, entertaining approach＜/li＞＜li＞Written by experienced and innovative scholar/educators well known in the skeptic community＜/li＞＜li＞Features teaching resources including an Instructor's Guide and Powepoint slides＜/li＞＜/ul＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	9,134円
The Psychology and Science of Pseudoscience【電子書籍】[ Terence Hines ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book provides a comprehensive review of numerous areas of pseudoscience and related pathological science. It not only describes the factual bases for rejecting pseudoscientific claims, but also emphasizes the psychological processes that lead to the acceptance of such claims.

Wynn ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Get the straight, scientific story on things like astrology, ghosts, spontaneous human combustion, psychic surgery, and ESP. You hear about these fantastic happenings every day on television and in the supermarket tabloids. Is any of this true or are they making it all up?

State Ideology, Science, and Pseudoscience in Russia Between the Cosmos and the Earth【電子書籍】[ Baasanjav Terbish ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book recounts the entangled stories of three distinctly Russian movementsーstate ideology, Russian cosmism, and Eurasianismーfrom their inception at the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century until now. Despite harboring pseudoscientific and mystical ideas specific to Russia, all three movements were propagated by their followers as “universal sciences,” and all three vied for scientific supremacy and universal acceptance. Suppressed by the Bolsheviks and their state ideology as “unscientific” in the 1920s, Russian cosmism and Eurasianism led an esoteric underground existence during the Soviet period and re-emerged in the dying years of the Soviet Union, seeking not only to reclaim their “scientific” status but also to potentially fill the perplexing vacuum left by the ensuing demise of Soviet state ideology. This study relates the post-Soviet search for a new state ideology, or new National Idea, at the federal and regional levels, based on the Kremlin’s projects and the case of the ethnic Republic of Kalmykia in south-west Russia.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	13,024円

The Science and Pseudoscience of Children's Mental Health Cutting Edge Research and Treatment【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞This book explains how studies in brain development and epigeneticsーthe inextricable interplay of genes and environmentsーhave led to breakthroughs in the understanding of children's psychological disturbances and serve to discredit the scientifically unsupported "chemical imbalance theory" of mental illness.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Intended for mental health practitioners, concerned parents, and child advocates alike, this book presents a powerful new paradigm for understanding the causes of children's psychological disturbancesーand as a result, the proper treatment of these symptoms. Based in cutting-edge research on the developing brain and epigenetics, this important volume serves to inform readers about the latest scientific conclusions and clinical practices that need to supplant pervasive and often dangerous drug prescriptions to millions of children.＜/p＞＜p＞Sharna Olfman, PhD, and contributors including leading researchers, clinicians, and childhood advocates present their research findings and explain the implications for treatment of a range of symptoms, including autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), concussion syndromes, and mood disorders. The book definitively lays to rest the "chemical imbalance theory" of mental illness, a theory that has been roundly discredited by the scientific community but kept alive by the pharmaceutical industry. Chapters focus on the real science of epigenetics and the sensitivity of the developing brain to environmental influences such as trauma and chemical toxinsーlegitimate research findings that are largely ignored by mental health practitioners and rarely influence practice.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	6,202円
Science and Pseudoscience A Conversation with Michael Gordin【電子書籍】[ Howard Burton ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book is based on an in-depth conversation between Howard Burton and Michael Gordin, Rosengarten Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at Princeton University. This thought-provoking, extensive conversation examines the strange case of Immanuel Velikovsky, author of the bestselling book ＜em＞Worlds in Collision＜/em＞ that managed to provocatively combine unbridled scientific speculation with ancient myth, as a way of probing the often-problematic boundary between science and pseudoscience.＜/p＞＜p＞By all accounts, Velikovsky was a decidedly curious character. The notorious Russian-born doctor-turned psychoanalyst-turned astronomer-historian-autodidact not only had a flair for writing and boatloads of charisma and energy, he also was on record for making a couple of concrete predictions of his radical new theory of the solar system that turned out, much to the dismay of the authorities of the day, to actually be correct.＜/p＞＜p＞This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, ＜em＞Harnessing the Fringe＜/em＞, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter:＜/p＞＜ol＞＜li＞A Counterculture Hero - Introducing Immanuel Velikovsky＜/li＞＜li＞An Ideal Case - The historical allure of Velikovsky＜/li＞＜li＞The Lysenko Lesson - Science meets politics＜/li＞＜li＞A Freudian Cosmology - Validation by hostility＜/li＞＜li＞Enter Einstein - Velikovsky makes predictions＜/li＞＜li＞Responses and Reactions - Publicity and hostility＜/li＞＜li＞Digging In - Unorthodox, up to a point＜/li＞＜li＞Science vs. Pseudoscience - In search of a bright line＜/li＞＜li＞Fringe Benefits - Seeking a balance＜/li＞＜li＞Learning From History - Towards better science?＜/li＞＜li＞Anthropic Digression - Falsifiability today＜/li＞＜li＞Better Science? - Educated by history＜/li＞＜/ol＞＜p＞＜strong＞About Ideas Roadshow Conversations Series (100 books):＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Presented in an accessible, conversational format, Ideas Roadshow books not only explore frontline academic research featuring world-leading researchers, including 3 Nobel Laureates, but also reveal the inspirations and personal journeys behind the research.

Extra Sensory The Science and Pseudoscience of Telepathy and Other Powers of the Mind【電子書籍】[ Brian Clegg ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Extra Sensory＜/em＞ is a pop-science look at the untapped abilities of human beings, from ESP to Telekenesis and other real life sciences that are currently being studied today, from physicist Brian Clegg.＜br /＞ We'd all love to have 'psi' abilities like telepathy, telekinesis, and remote viewing. But is there any solid evidence to back up these talents, or are they nothing more than fantasy? We still only understand a small percentage of the capabilities of the human brainーand we shouldn't dismiss such potential powers out of hand. Although there is no doubt that many who claim these abilities are frauds, and no one has yet won James Randi's $1M prize for demonstrating ESP under lab conditions, we still have a Nobel prize winner suggesting a mechanism for telepathy, serious scientists researching the field and university projects that produced potentially explosive results. What's the verdict? By looking at possible physical mechanisms for ESP and taking in the best scientific evidence, the reader can discover if this is all wishful thinking and deception, or a fascinating reality. The truth is out there.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,936円

Shadows of Science How to Uphold Science, Detect Pseudoscience, and Expose Antiscience in the Age of Disinformation【電子書籍】[ Kendrick Frazier ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In this enlightening and entertaining book, author and Skeptical Inquirer editor Kendrick Frazier takes readers on a journey to the contentious boundary zone between science and its antagonists: pseudoscience (pretend science) and anti-science (open hostility to science). Pseudoscience romps in the shadows of science but takes on the guise of science to excite, sell, mislead, and deceive the public. Anti-science denigrates, even denies, findings of science for ideological ends.＜/p＞＜p＞In this dangerous age of misinformation (and dis-information), we need science’s remarkable truth-seeking tools more than ever to help counter society’s crazier impulses in which opinion, beliefs, and lies trump facts, evidence, and truth.＜/p＞＜p＞In one sense, Shadows of Science is Frazier’s love letter to science, one of humanity’s greatest inventions, one we should exalt for its unique ability to find provisional truths about nature. In congenial prose he reports on recent discoveries and describes how science works and how its error-correcting mechanisms lead eventually to new knowledge. He tells the stories of some of our champions of science and reason. He describes the little-appreciated values of science, how it embraces uncertainty and humility, and its emphasis on fact-based observation and experiment. Pseudoscience adopts some of science’s language and has a beguiling appeal, but there the similarities end.＜/p＞＜p＞Frazier has professionally reported on frontier scientific discoveries and observed and exposed the pretensions and dangers of pseudoscience and anti-science his entire career. Here he shares his experiences, his knowledge and insights, and his love and passion for our ability to learn what’s real about the natural worldーand to identify and expose fake science, pretend science, and anti-science in all their multifarious forms.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,896円

Misanthropology Science, Pseudoscience, and the Study of Humanity【電子書籍】[ Sean M. Rafferty ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Misanthropology: Science, Pseudoscience, and the Study of Humanity＜/em＞ introduces students to key concepts in critical thinking across the four core branches of anthropology: cultural, linguistic, biological, and archaeological. It combines a critical analysis of anthropology as a field with current concepts in scientific skepticism.＜/p＞＜p＞By deconstructing a range of global case studies in which anthropological research runs aground, the book teaches students to distinguish between legitimate science and pseudoscience. It covers key concepts in critical thinking and rigorous research, such as cognitive biases and logical fallacies, data collection and consensus, probabilistic thinking, as well as political, nationalist, racist biases. Students learn not only how to apply these concepts to anthropological research and fieldwork, but also to their consumption of everyday information.＜/p＞＜p＞This book will appeal to anthropology students and will be particularly useful for instructors of introductory anthropology courses, as well as instructors of courses across the humanities and social sciences focused on inculcating critical thinking skills.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	8,759円

Religion, Supernaturalism, the Paranormal and Pseudoscience An Anthropological Critique【電子書籍】[ Homayun Sidky ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞At the end of the second decade of the twenty-first century people in the United States live in a scary and confusing post-truth era of disinformation, fake news, counter-knowledge, weaponized lies, conspiracy theories, magical thinking and sheer irrationalism. In this intellectual climate where many people lack the rudimentary skills to distinguish between contending claims to knowledge or differentiate between fact and opinion, there is a proliferation of purveyors of supernaturalism, pseudoscience and alternative forms of knowledge whose ideas are an affront to the intelligence and sensibilities of rational people. At the same time, here and around the world oppressive religious fundamentalism and violence are on the rise. The merchants of superstition and paranormalism almost in unison are broadcasting with bluster and hubris that science is now defunct and are offering their own truths and ways of knowing as better substitutes. Even our highest government officials are flagrantly declaring that it is impossible to distinguish between fact and opinion, that for every fact there is an alternative fact, and that truth is whatever people want it to be.＜/p＞＜p＞By posing a direct challenge to science and rationality, the advocates of supernatural and paranormal modes of thought have made their own central epistemological and ontological premises legitimate subjects for critical scrutiny in accordance with the tradition of systematic skepticism. “Religion, Supernaturalism, the Paranormal and Pseudoscience” provides a comprehensive rejoinder to the challenges posed to science, scientific anthropology, evolutionary theory and rationality. Moreover, scientific anthropological answers are offered for several important questions: Why do humans have the proclivity for the supernatural and the paranormal thinking? Why has humanity remained shackled to sets of ideas inherited from a violent past that have no basis in reality, bestow an illusionary solace, inspire endless cruelties and fervent hatreds, and have come at a high cost? Why have ancient superstitions been maintained as sacred, inviolate truths while other aspects of the archaic belief systems of which they were a part have long been discarded? Why have not humans outgrown religion and paranormal beliefs?＜/p＞＜p＞This study draws upon the author’s scientific anthropological background and ethnographic field research of supernatural and paranormal beliefs and practices in several cultures over the course of the last 30 years. It also relies upon the works of numerous skeptics; critical historians; scientific anthropologists; cognitive, evolutionary, experimental and anomalistic psychologists; philosophers of science; scientists in various fields; and many theologians.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	10,783円

Feng Shui: Teaching About Science and Pseudoscience【電子書籍】[ Michael R. Matthews ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book provides a richly documented account of the historical, cultural, philosophical and practical dimensions of feng shui. It argues that where feng shui is entrenched educational systems have a responsibility to examine its claims, and that this examination provides opportunities for students to better learn about the key features of the nature of science, the demarcation of science and non-science, the characteristics of pseudoscience, and the engagement of science with culture and worldviews. The arguments presented for feng shui being a pseudoscience can be marshalled when considering a whole range of comparable beliefs and the educational benefit of their appraisal.＜/p＞＜p＞Feng shui is a deeply-entrenched, three-millennia-old system of Asian beliefs and practices about nature, architecture, health, and divination that has garnered a growing presence outside of Asia. It is part of a comprehensive and ancient worldview built around belief in chi (qi) the putative universal energy or life-force that animates all existence, the cosmos, the solar system, the earth, and human bodies. Harmonious living requires building in accord with local chi streams; good health requires replenishment and manipulation of internal chi flow; and a beneficent afterlife is enhanced when buried in conformity with chi directions. Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the proper manipulation of internal chi by acupuncture, tai-chi and qigong exercise, and herbal dietary supplements.＜/p＞＜p＞Matthews has produced another tour de force that will repay close study by students, scientists, and all those concerned to understand science, culture, and the science/culture nexus.＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞Harvey Siegel＜/strong＞, Philosophy, University of Miami, USA＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞With great erudition and even greater fluidity of style, Matthews introduces us to this now-world-wide belief system.＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞Michael Ruse＜/strong＞, Philosophy, Florida State University, USA＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞The book is one of the best research works published on Feng Shui.＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞Wang Youjun＜/strong＞, Philosophy, Shanghai Normal University, China＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞The history is fascinating.

Pseudoscience and Science Fiction【電子書籍】[ Andrew May ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Aliens, flying saucers, ESP, the Bermuda Triangle, antigravity … are we talking about science fiction or pseudoscience? Sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference.＜/p＞＜p＞Both pseudoscience and science fiction (SF) are creative endeavours that have little in common with academic science, beyond the superficial trappings of jargon and subject matter. The most obvious difference between the two is that pseudoscience is presented as fact, not fiction. Yet like SF, and unlike real science, pseudoscience is driven by a desire to please an audience ? in this case, people who “want to believe”. This has led to significant cross-fertilization between the two disciplines. SF authors often draw on “real” pseudoscientific theories to add verisimilitude to their stories, while on other occasions pseudoscience takes its cue from SF ? the symbiotic relationship between ufology and Hollywood being a prime example of this.＜/p＞＜p＞This engagingly written, well researched and richly illustrated text explores a wide range of intriguing similarities and differences between pseudoscience and the fictional science found in SF.＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞Andrew May＜/strong＞ has a degree in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University and a PhD in astrophysics from Manchester University. After many years in academia and the private sector, he now works as a freelance writer and scientific consultant. He has written pocket biographies of Newton and Einstein, as well as contributing to a number of popular science books. He has a lifelong interest in science fiction, and has had several articles published in Fortean Times magazine＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,795円

Why People Believe Weird Things Pseudoscience, Superstition and Other Confusions of Our Time【電子書籍】[ Michael Shermer ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞A survey of a range of irrationalisms, with explanations of their empirical and logical flaws, this book describes the differences between science and pseudo-science, and goes on to describe and critique popular contemporary irrationalisms.＜/p＞＜p＞Why do smart people believe weird things?Why do so many people believe in mind reading, past-life regression therapy, extra-terrestrial abduction and ghosts? What is behind the rise of 'scientific creationism' and Holocaust denial? In an age of supposed scientific enlightenment why do we appear more impressionable than ever?Scientific historian, and director of the Skeptics Society, Michael Shermer debunks these extraordinary claims in a no-holds-barred assault on the popular superstitions and confused prejudices of our time. Exploring the very human reasons behind otherworldly phenomena, conspiracy theories and cults Shermer explains why are they are so appealing to so many."Skepticism is the agent of reason against organized irrationalism -and is therefore one of the keys to human social and civic decency."Stephen Jay Gould, from his forewordShermer reveals the darker side of wishful thinking, through the recovered memory movement, satanic rituals and other modern witch hunts, and ideologies of racial superiority. Confronting those who take advantage of the gullibility of other people to advance their own, self-serving agendas Why People Believe Weird Things is compelling and often disturbing. It is a perceptive portrait of the human capacity for self-delusion and a celebration of the scientific spirit.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,518円
The Pseudoscience Wars Immanuel Velikovsky and the Birth of the Modern Fringe【電子書籍】[ Michael D. Gordin ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Properly analyzed, the collective mythological and religious writings of humanity reveal that around 1500 BC, a comet swept perilously close to Earth, triggering widespread natural disasters and threatening the destruction of all life before settling into solar orbit as Venus, our nearest planetary neighbor.＜/p＞＜p＞Sound implausible? Well, from 1950 until the late 1970s, a huge number of people begged to differ, as they devoured Immanuel Velikovsky’s major best-seller, Worlds in Collision, insisting that perhaps this polymathic thinker held the key to a new science and a new history. Scientists, on the other hand, assaulted Velikovsky’s book, his followers, and his press mercilessly from the get-go. In ＜em＞The Pseudoscience Wars＜/em＞, Michael D. Gordin resurrects the largely forgotten figure of Velikovsky and uses his strange career and surprisingly influential writings to explore the changing definitions of the line that separates legitimate scientific inquiry from what is deemed bunk, and to show how vital this question remains to us today. Drawing on a wealth of previously unpublished material from Velikovsky’s personal archives, Gordin presents a behind-the-scenes history of the writer’s career, from his initial burst of success through his growing influence on the counterculture, heated public battles with such luminaries as Carl Sagan, and eventual eclipse. Along the way, he offers fascinating glimpses into the histories and effects of other fringe doctrines, including creationism, Lysenkoism, parapsychology, and moreーall of which have surprising connections to Velikovsky’s theories.＜/p＞＜p＞Science today is hardly universally secure, and scientists seem themselves beset by critics, denialists, and those they label “pseudoscientists”ーas seen all too clearly in battles over evolution and climate change. ＜em＞The Pseudoscience Wars＜/em＞ simultaneously reveals the surprising Cold War roots of our contemporary dilemma and points readers to a different approach to drawing the line between knowledge and nonsense.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,376円
