Description
Hardcover - 168 pages (2009) Exposes the tricks behind popularly accepted mystical and paranormal phenomena. Henri Broch reveals the hucksterism of pseudoscience, providing scientific explanations for what many accept as supernatural or psychic. From bending silverware with the mind to dowsing for hidden veins of water, gems, metals, and other materials, Broch's hands-on experiments demystify the mysterious and explain the inexplicable. Featuring a foreword by Nobel laureate Georges Charpak, this book persuasively argues that some of history's most persistent bamboozling can be explained by science.
