Zabilješke: A Dictionary of Common Fallacies by Philip Ward is a reference work that aims to debunk widely held false beliefs and historical misconceptions. Unlike standard logic textbooks, this work focuses on erroneous "facts" and popular myths rather than formal logical fallacies like ad hominem or straw man. It covers a diverse range of topics including historical myths, physical and social sciences, and various "unscientific" theories.Ward uses a dictionary-style, alphabetical arrangement to "set the record straight" by citing experts and tracking down factual evidence to disprove senseless ideas. Includes debunking of topics like the Bermuda Triangle, Erich von Däniken's theories, and various British-oriented misconceptions.
