Description: Why is it that, time and again, intelligent, educated people end up falling for ideas that turn out on closer examination to be nonsense? This book offers practical tools for cutting through the claptrap and unravelling the spin - tackling propaganda, the psychology of deception, pseudo-news, and the weird cult of 'Aids reappraisal'.
