Review
'Darryl Cunningham continues his comics crusade to untangle lies, myths, and misconceptions with a new book defending the science that's grown from Darwin's theory of natural selection. As usual, he does so with wit, charm, and quiet persistence.' --SCOTT McCLOUD
'A clear and thorough survey of the subject, and very important.'
--BRIAN FIES, Eisner-award-winning author of Mom's Cancer

Product Description
A graphic milestone of investigative reporting, Science Tales takes on controversies surrounding climate change, electro-convulsive therapy, the moon landing, the MMR vaccine, homeopathy, chiropractic, evolution and science denialism. Thouroughly researched and sourced, Cunningham's clear narrative, graphic lines and photographic illustration explain complicated and controversial issues with deceptive ease and wit. Science Tales decodes the myths and lies that have shaped some of the most fiercely-debated issues of the past fifty years.

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a very different format to most books, being done in graphical / panel approach. Very effective, and very easy to read. If I had to nit-pick, this does mean that the overall **content** of the book is significantly less than the traditional text format (don't expect this to take hours to read!).
However!! There is strength in the simplicity and brevity of the arguments raised (which are presented clearly and concisely), and I can very easily imagining giving this to someone who insists that homoeopathy is the "new medicine", and that the combined MMR is "dangerous", and they would have to work hard to come up with a reason not to understand it.
