Publisher's Synopsis
Foreword by John Keel This account of the life and work of Charles Fort (1874-1932) reveals how the man described as the 'foe of science' in his New York Times obituary spent almost his entire life compiling evidence to show that science was a mere facade which concealed as much as it claimed to have discovered. The inspiration behind such authors as Pauwels and Bergier, John Michell and Theodore Sturgeon, as well as the popular magazine Fortean Times, this biography is a timely investigation of both his life and his ideas.
