The Idiot Guide to Science presents a historical and systemic outline of holistic science from its tender beginnings as heretical knowledge until todays more or less established holistic science paradigm as it emerges from the cutting edge of modern science reflected by the forty author and book reviews contained in chapter four of the book. I speak boldly in the Introduction of a dichotomy of fake science versus real science denoting Cartesian reductionist science as fake because it shuts out from its scientific understanding ten times more than it encompasses in its residual paradigm. In a time where science and religion converge to paraphrase Vidette TodaroFranceschi it is important to behold for not only a young audience that what is achieved is not to be taken for granted for it was paid with the price of untold human suffering. It is important to uphold this critical perspective in a time where countless interest groups all try to back their claims up by often contradictory scientific research. That is why the book just cites the crude facts of real science to survive in a basically nonscientific and highly irrational worldview where science and religion were largely opposing each other. I have assembled the material around the research on the cosmic life energy or what today is called the zero point field expression used for example by Lynne McTaggart the LField in the research of Harold Saxton Burr the AField coined by Ervin Laszlo or the quantum vacuum to speak in the terminology of Dr. William A. Tiller.
