Review title: A Book of Blunders...
Product review: The strong point of the book is that the author emphasizes how the scientific method works to weed out errors. But if you write a book with this title, you had better double-check your facts, so as not to produce blunders yourself. This has not been done, there is an embarrassing number of howlers. It is i.a. claimed that the range of the strong interactions is 1 nanometer, that a room-temperature superconductor would violate the second law of thermodynamics, that the power of the Chernobyl reactor was a measly 1 MW, that the Second World War was already on in the summer of 1939, etc., etc. Another excellent idea for a book spoiled by shoddy writing!
