Plagues of the Mind: The New Epidemic of False Knowledge Hardcover - 1999

by Thornton, Bruce S

Mass literacy, mass communication, and the Internet have all increased the amount of information available. But false knowledge still abounds. Taking cues from Sir Thomas Browne, the English Renaissance skeptic, this title examines a host of contemporary errors in thinking and offers a powerful explanation of why they occur.
