BookNews E-Zine • MYTHS, LIES, AND DOWNRIGHT STUPIDITY • May 5th issue
Dear LFB Reader,
John Stossel does it again with his new book, hot off the presses. As
usual, he digs through what's passed off as "common knowledge" and
finds the facts.
Stossel's new book digs down
to the truth, even if it does
take a shovel!
MYTHS, LIES, AND DOWNRIGHT STUPIDITY
Get Out the Shovel—
Why Everything You Know
Is Wrong
by John Stossel
Hyperion Books, 2006, hardcover
Is the world really running out of oil? Is price gouging evil? Does
playing video games make kids violent?
In his newest book—which has just been named the winner of LFB's June
2006 Lysander Spooner Award—ABC-News re****ter John Stossel tackles
these and other im****tant issues, along with some less im****tant but
very entertaining myths.
Stossel is really in his element here, doing what he does best in many
of his TV specials: investigating the things that most people consider
common knowledge—and revealing just how wrong they are. He takes aim
at consumer myths, business myths, education myths, and more. And
because it's Stossel, a self-proclaimed libertarian, you know that
government lies are going to get plenty of attention.
Stossel writes in a funny, entertaining style that makes Myths, Lies,
and Downright Stupidity a hard book to put down. Some of the myths
will make you laugh, while others might surprise even the most
seasoned myth-busters.
So, buy the book and, as Stossel says, get out the shovel!
