520    As author of the bestselling Why People Believe Weird 
       Things and How We Believe, and Editor-in-Chief of Skeptic 
       magazine, Michael Shermer has emerged as the nation's 
       number one scourge of superstition and bad science. Now, 
       in The Borderlands of Science, he takes us to the place 
       where real science (such as the big bang theory), 
       borderland science (superstring theory), and just plain 
       nonsense (Big Foot) collide with one another. Shermer 
       argues that science is the best lens through which to view
       the world, but he recognizes that it's often difficult for
       most of us to tell where valid science leav.
