Hearing Check. 50 Myths We Believe Since Childhood

Kutuzov wore an eye patch. Cacti protect against computer radiation. The Great Wall of China is visible from space. Knights put chastity belts on their wives. Bulls are irritated by the color red. If you agree with at least one... statement, you will find this book interesting. The author has gathered 50 familiar misconceptions from childhood and adolescence that many continue to believe in. Their debunking is an engaging process, where the rare ability to present facts accessibly and ironically combines with a scientific research approach.

A critical analysis is applied to both deeply ingrained folk beliefs and cultural stereotypes studied in the school curriculum. The book by 'myth-buster' Ivan Khudayev is not just a check of popular myths, but an exciting series, each episode of which offers a new perspective on the world around us and allows us to see that this world is even more interesting than we thought.
