Did you know that you can predict a person's future by looking at their buttocks, a method of divination called rumpology? Or that the Chinese once imagined the Earth as a flat quadrilateral? Or that there have been numerous recorded cases of spontaneous human combustion throughout history?

Here you'll find the most incredible facts, wild superstitions, speculative ideas, conspiracy theories, and cases of outright charlatanism. Astrologers, magicians, psychics, pseudo-inventors, aliens, yeti, and even Walt Whitman's shattered brain...
This book is an explosive blend of history, pop culture, and good old science. It will not only debunk myths but also explain why people so persistently cherish the strange and inexplicable and how this relates to the crisis of trust in modern society.
