Some of them were genuine geniuses; others were simply lone loons. History is littered with their wreckage and this book tells the story of the very strangest.

Proposing that science has become a kind of modern religion and telling the tale of such noted pseudoscientific fads and fallacies as alchemy spontaneous generation and the doomed quest to raise the dead Forgotten Science is sure to make you laugh at the same time as making you think.
