As Reagan's Defense Secretary, Weinberger presided over a $2 trillion peacetime military buildup?the biggest in U.S. history?and backed the controversial, never-implemented Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars. After finding himself at odds with Reagan's arms-control negotiations with Mikhail Gorbachev, Weinberger retired in 1987. Yet despite his reputation as a dedicated hawk, he opposed excessive military intervention. "I did not arm to attack," he said of his cold war efforts, "[but] to make war less likely...

As a developmental biologist at London's University College, and one of Britain's loudest champions of the public understanding of science, Wolpert covers genes, memes, pain and various other angles in his book. But rather than just arm wrestling with God's faithful, his book attempts to survey the science underpinning all intuitive beliefs, including religion, that humans stubbornly cling to, in spite of the best efforts of rational enquiry to displace them: credence in the paranormal, magic and superstition; faith in alternative-health therapies; the conviction that sooner...
