GOOD BOOK GUIDE (1/11/04)
'A witty insight into the impossible.'

Review
'A witty insight into the impossible.' (GOOD BOOK GUIDE (1/11/04) )

'Len Fisher...takes us on a very accessible and entertaining tour of various historical moments where contemporary commonsense ideas about how the world worked clashed with scientific findings...WEIGHING THE SOUL is a mine of delightful oddities.' (Jerome Burne FT MAGAZINE (4.12.04) )

'On the surface this book is about quirky ideas, such as how to cure a headache by zapping yourself with an electric eel...Under the surface, it's about the evolution of scientific beliefs...While the tone is quite jolly, there's serious science among the slapstick. A good read for the curious.' (Sylvia Rainsford FOCUS MAGAZINE (March 2005) )

'...entertaining and astute...An engaging and relaxed, personal style to the text make this book easy to read. No matter what your academic background it is a genuine pleasure to read.' (Stuart Williams CHEMISTRY WORLD (February 2005) )
