The Science Of Superstition
Bruce M. Hood
?In an account chock full of real-world examples reinforced by experimental research, Hood?s marvelous book is an important contribution to the psychological literature that is revealing the actuality of our very irrational human nature.? ? Science
In the vein of Malcolm Gladwell?s Blink, Mary Roach?s Spook, and Dan Ariely?s Predictably Irrational, The Science of Superstition uses hard science to explain pervasive irrational beliefs and behaviors: from the superstitious rituals of sports stars, to the depreciated value of houses where murders were committed, to the adoration of Elvis.
