"Quantum Leaps in the Wrong Direction" carefully deconstructs five examples of pseudoscience--UFOs, out-of-body experiences, astrology, creationism, and ESP-- and gives easy recipes to test other dubious notions so that the reader can ascertain what lies in the realm of real science and what more properly deserves the tag of pseudoscience. I believe that the inspired title illustrates [Dr. Wynnâs] talent very well. Even the inspired title conveys the sense in which the subject will be handled, and encourages the reader to look not only between the covers, but between the lines as well. I cannot imagine that anyone who has picked up that volume can resist looking further into the subjects discussed. And that is the one major purpose of education, to stimulate the student into looking further than the teacher had. Just as the late Carl Sagan went beyond his special field of astronomy to educate the public, Dr. Wynn reaches out past chemistry and brings our attention to the basic problems of understanding the universe and dealing with it.
