摘要：This book belongs on every scientist's to-be-ignored list. Whatever appeal this book may have for the faddist or the spiritually inclined, it will have little appeal for the scientist. The author's major concern is limiting the field of scientific study by classifying various subjects as unknowable, that is, beyond the possibility of scientific study. The reasons given are as varied as they are contradictory. Science and scientists are alternately damned for investigating subjects belonging to the reaim of the "unknowable" and for not studying others such as spiritualism, dowsing, and flying saucers. Overall, this is a bookwhich is best quietly interred without any detailed discussion of all of its absurdities.
