At a time when there is an ever-widening gap between what the expert knows and what the average person believes, this accessible volume clearly explains the scientific facts and concepts that are indispensable for an understanding of our material universe.

Milton Rothman examines sixteen standard myths about the nature of science, demonstrating that much of what passes for logical argumentation consists of the repetition of cliches and current folklore.

Industry Reviews

"If you want to hit science skeptics hard then this book will give you all the knowledge to do so. Rothman writes powerfully and makes his points very clear and more importantly, the reasons why." --SF Crowsnest, April 2008
