Reviews for A Windows NT™ Guide to the Web: Covering browsers, servers, and related software
Stephen Greenspan has penned the definitive book on why people are gullible. He reveals why so many people are so gullible, the psychology that drives gullible behaviors, and most importantly what we can do about it. Annals of Gullibility belongs on the bookshelves of skeptics and scientists, not to mention politicians and policy analysts, especially before they go to war. -Michael Shermer, Publisher, Skeptics Magazine
