Book of the Week Why People Believe Weird Things : Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time by Michael Shermer. I am continually amazed by the sorts of things that people can believe without any evidence to support the belief, and often in spite of comprehensive evidence against the belief. Faith is a wonderful thing, but it can't make facts disappear.
(Please note: The Book of the Week is drawn from the full list of books at The Millenium Project book shop, and may occasionally feature a book with little or no relevance to the objectives of Australian Skeptics.)
