Weird Science, Mad Science and Bad Science in Non-Fiction (102 books)

Weird Science, Mad Science and Bad Science in Non-Fiction

This list is intended to be a companion to Weird Science, Mad Science and Bad Science in Fiction except that the science included here (or pseudoscience, as the case may be) is considered to be based in reality as society currently perceives it. Subject to change.

The scientists here are sometimes purely motivated by "evil" intentions (mad scientists) while others may cause accidental disasters simply as a result of personal error or ambition (bad scientists). Then, sometimes, these are just really whacked out ideas.
