13 Things That Don't Make Sense: The Most Baffling Scientific Mysteries of Our Time by Michael Brooks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really liked this overview of mysteries in physics and medicine. Particularly interesting was an overview of The Pioneer anomaly along with research on the placebo effect, counterexamples to the certainty of death (such as Blanding's_turtle), and homoeopathy. I particularly appreciated the author's exploration of placebos and homoeopaths with arguments for and against, such as the weak foundation of a meta-analysis of placebo studies.,
