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.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePseudoscience\u003c\/i\u003e is a wild mix of history, pop culture, and good old fashioned science–that not just entertains, but sheds a little light on why we all love to believe in things we know aren't true. ","brand":"Kang, Lydia","offers":[{"title":"Hardback (Social Science)","offer_id":48081905025248,"sku":null,"price":19.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_7082f11d-0c4d-4dde-b338-e0fc504f12cd.jpg?v=1762101624","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/9781523524259","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
