I read the first few chapters of this book and it really got me thinking about our personal realities. Some of us are consumed with some quest because God needs us to serve some purpose, some of us are trying to raise our family and make good decisions along the way, and some are just trying to find enough food to eat for survival.

You know it really isn't very convenient that our world seems to be warming because of mankind. Some people choose to deny that it's even a possibility (despite some pretty convincing proof). I was beginning to get on the no genetically altered food kick, but Mr. Specter made me rethink that in the name of common sense. Some people don't support the model for evolution, and I guess that some people really don't believe that the holocaust really happened either.

Denialism really does influence our education structure as much, if not more than science, or religion for that matter.

I recommend this book to anyone who really has never considered the effects of close-mindedness; however, as with anything you read, proceed with a healthy amount of skepticism. After all I don't expect that Mr. Specter would want anything else.
