Previously published as How to Fake a Moon Landing, and nominated for the Great Graphic Novels for Teens List from Young Adult Library Services Association, this new edition has been updated to include a clinical exposé of fracking
A graphic milestone of investigative reporting, Cunningham’s essays explode the lies, hoaxes, and scams of popular science, debunking media myths and decoding some of today’s most fiercely-debated issues: climate change, electroconvulsive therapy, the moon landing, the MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine, homeopathy, chiropractic, evolution, science denialism, and, new for this edition, fracking. Thoroughly researched and sourced, Cunningham’s clear narrative, graphic lines, and photographic illustration explain complicated and controversial issues with deceptive ease.

Review
"Cunningham continues his comics crusade. . . . As usual, he does so with wit, charm, and quiet persistence." —Scott McCloud, author, Understanding Comics
It’s good to see the arguments presented so well, clearly and concisely... what Cunningham does here is rather brilliantly presented, and customarily classy. As an artist his work is equally at home in the stark black and white of Psychiatric Tales or the lush and varied colours in Science Tales... Science Tales is impressive, Cunningham delivering his message with style, great art, even moments of outright comedy. All in all, we have something else to deliver the message of science and reason, and that’s a good, good thing. - See more at: http://myriadeditions.com/books/science-tales/#modal1

[if you] enjoyed Ben Goldacre's Bad Science, and care about climate change, you'll enjoy this one." —Cory Doctorow, author, Little Brother
"The artwork is uncluttered, leaving little to distract the reader from the explosition, delivered in stripped-back, staccato prose." —New Scientist

Very educative enjoyable graphic book
By M. T. Crenshaw
Take Michael Moore's documentaries and old TV shows style, mix it with the explanatory style that you find in TED Animated Shorts on various scientific subjects, put it in comic form, add some personal graphic style. Voila! You have Science Tales.
Science Tales is a book on what science does, how it does it, and why it is a reliable method of understanding and explaining the world. It is also a book on what Science is not. More importantly, it is a book on the importance of critical thinking to deal with any scientific or Fringe Science issue. The themes discussed in Science Tales are: Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), homoeopathy, the case of Andrew Wakefield and the anti-vaccination nonsense, chiropractic, the landing on the moon hoax, fracking, climate change, evolution, and science denial.
Cunningham makes two terrific points in his foreword, which will help you to understand the way and passion he invests in explaining the themes discussed in the book:
"What it isn't is a book promoting a scientific elite whom must all follow, sheep-like. It is the scientific process itself in promoting here, not the scientific establishment, who are just as capable of being fraudulent, corrupted by politics and money or just plain wrong as any group of humans engaged in any activity [...] Science isn't a matter of faith or just another point of view. Good science is testable, reproducible, and stands the test of time. What doesn't work in science falls away, and what it remains is the true."
Cunningham is a passionate author and graphic artist and you can feel that when you read Science Tales. He has the virtue of digesting scientific information that can be difficult to understand (all the fracking issue or the way genetic selection works for example) and present it in a visual and textual way that is easy to understand by anybody, a child in high school or your great-grandma.
I love Cunningham graphic style. It is very simple and schematic, a bit cubist!, but he has an amazing sense of colour and of aesthetics. Each chapter has a a different scheme colour that goes perfectly with the theme at hand. I always love such visual mindfulness! And some of the vignettes are very humorous as well. On the other hand, I didn't like the insertion of retouched digitalised images, that not always work well visually. He could have drawn those from scratch without a problem and the final result would have been more harmonious visually.
Cunningham says that the reason why he choose the themes he discuses in his books is they were hot topics on any science blog or podcast when he wrote it. That is, they were mainstream topics of discussion. To me, that is one of the flaws of the book, that there is little that you would learn or have not heard of when reading the book as there are plenty, I mean, plenty of BBC documentaries, scientifically backed, on some of the issues that Cunningham discusses. Why not focusing on other scientific topics that are less known to the masses and uses for non scientific purposes? Also, using an episode of Mythbusters as a scientific reference defeats his own purpose or being, well, very scientific. Come on, hello hello, can't you see that?!
Still, this is a very educative enjoyable book.
I am quite happy with the rendering of the book for Kindle. It is easy to read, the page to move around, zoom in and out.

Good read
By eddie
I bought this book after reading a comic online about evolution by the same author/artist. Its very easy to follow along and it explains everything very well.

I don't really like this style of painting, but it didn't spoil the overall impression of these interesting stories! Greate book!
