"Takes its readers through the carnival of pseudoscience, the
morass of half-truths, and, finally, the relatively safe road of
reproducible scientific knowledge. This journey is made all the
more enjoyable by Dr. Schwarcz's surgical use of words and his
mastery of public writing ... [He] can always be counted on to
write about the chemistry of the world in a way that is both
entertaining and educational." -- Cracked Science
"The author's entertaining writing style and clear, precise
explanations make the book a joy to read, and his choice of
subjects is so wide-ranging that there is really something for
everyone here." --Booklist
"Written with a light touch and refreshing humor, this book
provides a solid, authoritative starting point for anyone beginning
to look at the world with a skeptical eye and a refresher for those
further along that path." -- Library Journal
