Eight Preposterous Propositions From the Genetics of Homosexuality to the Benefits of Global Warming

"Robert Ehrlich'sEight Preposterous Propositions, the sequel to his cleverly conceived and brilliantly executedNine Crazy Ideas in Science, is sure to both infuriate and delight readers at the same time! If there isn't something in this book that you already agree and disagree with then you will by the time you finish it because these are among the most politically and culturally controversial ideas in all of science. I am simply staggered at both the depth and scope of Ehrlich's research, yet at the same time I am struck by how fair he is to all sides in these contentious issues. If you want to get your mind around a complex issue in a modest amount of time thenEight Preposterous Propositionsis for you. Every college course in critical thinking should assign this book as a model of balanced treatment and fair mindedness."--Michael Shermer, Publisher of Skeptic magazine, monthly columnist for Scientific American, author ofWhy People Believe Weird ThingsEhrlich, Robert is the author of 'Eight Preposterous Propositions From the Genetics of Homosexuality to the Benefits of Global Warming', published 2005 under ISBN 9780691124049 and ISBN 0691124043.
