The moon hoax -- Homeopathy -- Chiropractic -- The MMR vaccination scandal -- Evolution -- Fracking -- Climate change -- Science denial.
"Is hydro-fracking really safe? Is climate change real? Did the moon landing really happen? How about evolution: fact or fiction? Author-illustrator Darryl Cunningham looks at these and other hot-button science topics and presents a fact-based, visual assessment of current thinking and research on eight different issues everybody's arguing about. His lively storytelling approach incorporates comics, photographs, and diagrams to create substantive but easily accessible reportage. Cunningham's distinctive illustrative style shows how information is manipulated by all sides; his easy-to-follow narratives allow readers to draw their own conclusions. A graphic milestone of investigative journalism!"--Provided by publisher.

Is a graphic novel the right medium for debunking "myths of science"? submitted by Marian on August 30, 2019, 9:42am I'm not a scientist. I believe the moon landing was real. I doubt that people who think it was fake will be persuaded to change their minds based on this book's presentation. The book's value may be to encourage people who do believe in science, to dig deeper if interested in the topics, because what is science if not deep?
