Building Your Skeptical Toolkit: A beginner's guide to science, skepticism and critical thinking skills

By Andrew Dart

Around the world belief in the paranormal and pseudoscience is running rampant. 40% of people in the UK believe in haunted houses, governments employ dowsing devices to detect bombs and people give away all they have in the belief that the world is about to end...again. In this modern age it seems we need reason and critical thinking skills more than ever. Building your Skeptical Toolkit will help equip you with the tools you will need to start exploring this amazing world of ours as it really is and accurately enable you to evaluate the claims of psychics, conspiracy theorists and everyone in between. It will help you to see behind the myths and trickery, the fake science and unfounded claims, that fill our modern lives and discover the amazing and beautiful reality that lies beyond. " Dart has hit the bullseye. Everyone who reads this book will find new dimensions in the world around them, that previously seemed impenetrable and insoluble. It's an amazing place, once Dart shows you how to see past the roadblocks put up by your own brain. " Brian Dunning, Skeptoid.com
