"... is a new, popular-scientific book about the world-wide appearance of large, geometrical patterns in farm fields and other land areas, usually referred to as 'crop circles.' Crop circles are usually explained as the handiwork of creative pranksters. `Not true,' says Dr. Eltjo H. Haselhoff, Ph.D., former employee of Los Alamos National Laboratories. `The complexity of the crop circle phenomenon is tremendously underestimated, because its true nature is unknown to the public.'"

"For years, there have been rumors, almost in the urban legend category, that the Soviet Union had developed some mysterious substance called 'red mercury' that can be used in nuclear weapons construction, and that this 'red mercury' may be available on the black market for 000- 000 per kilo. Rumors have touted it as being able to just about anything including: making stealth aircraft stealthier, infrared sensors more sensitive, counterfeits harder to detect, and fission and fusion bombs smaller and easier to construct. It may be radioactive or not. It may be the densest material or it may not. ... I would wager that red mercury may be useful for much more than destruction. What can kill can cure, eh? Anyway, the truth makes free."

"Urban folklore is the often hilarious, always engaging, occasionally bizarre, and almost-always-with-a-moral stories that we've all heard, known, and shared as part of our daily lives. They run the gamut of simple ghost stories told around a campfire or slumber parties to rumors of industrial and governmental conspiracies and coverups. Their study provides us with insights into human nature and how people come to perceive and cope with the uncertain and complex world."
