Includes index.
The lungs of the planet -- No gravity in space -- Survival of the fittest -- The five senses -- High levels of radiation -- Killing germs -- Twenty-four hours a day -- The blueprint of life -- Superfoods and toxins -- Full of energy -- Left-brained and right-brained -- Global warming -- Epidemics and pandemics.
R. Philip Bouchard takes a closer look at 13 pervasive scientific untruths tackling a range of topics from gravity and radiation to global warming, pandemics and humorously shares the real science behind them. You'll learn why trees do not store carbon dioxide, why getting your genome sequenced tells you much less than you think it does, and why a day is not actually 24 hours.
