I gotta read that book.

I should read more biology books. I usually just focus on the philosophy of science. The last good science book that wasn't just a compilation of mag articles was about the Fleishmann-Pons cold fusion episode called "Cold Fusion: The Making of a Scientific Controversy" by F. David Peat. A good primer in pseudoscience.

Hello!?! What is this? Added to my WTF?files are the following "5-star" rated volumes....

Nuclear Transmutation: The Reality of Cold Fusion

Excess Heat: Why Cold Fusion Research Prevailed (2nd Edition)

Can you guys tell me if this BS is BS?

I'd guess that there is something to cold (catalytic) fusion, but it may never be highly energy positive.

Well, the first book is almost 8 years old, which is a bit long in the tooth for a prosperity-is-just-around-the-corner take on...well, anything.

The second one seems to take the attitude, "well, now that everyone agrees that this is real...". Yeeeeah.
