Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Corben, a retired theoretical physicist, attempts to present the entire history of religion, superstition, and science in this one volume. Such an ambitious goal unfortunately leads to information overload at the expense of cogent analysis. Corben's version of the human quest for knowledge is long on names, dates, and places but short on reasons, meanings, and insights. Insufficient space is given to explaining why religion and science have such a peculiar history of mutual antagonism. Since much of the material in this book is taken from some of the standard reference works in science, religion, and Western history, most libraries will do well to skip this well-intentioned but superfluous treatise.
