The Skeptic\'s Dictionary torrent

"Use this book as protection against attacks by New Agers, alternative therapists and others who have chosen to abandon reason..."

The book is organized like a dictionary with an alphabetical listing of various words that Carroll sets out to explore in depth. The book is better described as an encyclopedia, however, because of the length and style of the articles, which are not terse definitions, but mini-essays. Here is a sampling of the "A" words to give you an idea of the range of topics that Carroll addresses: acupuncture, agnosticism, alien abductions, ancient astronauts, angel therapy, anthroposophy, argument from design, argument to ignorance, aromatherapy, astral projection, astrology, atheism, automatic writing, and avatar.
