About This Item
New York: Pantheon. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1999. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 067944243X . A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 278 pages; "argues that we are a society intoxicated by the irrational: religion, spirituality, and popular therapies threaten to replace rational thought with supernaturalism and impassioned but unexamined personal testimony. Ranging from our fascination with angels, aliens, and near- death experiences to the rise of junk science, the recovery movement, and the digital culture, Kaminer points out the amusing and ominous effects of our deference to spiritual authorities and resistance to critical thinking." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
