You're listening to The Michael Shermer Show. Hey everybody, it's Michael Shermer, it's time for another episode of the Michael Shermer Show.

His books include frauds, myths, and mysteries, science and pseudoscience and archaeology.

You can see already why he's on the show here. There we go. He's showing our his cover there. The past in perspective, an introduction to human prehistory. Go ahead, Ken, you got the cover of that?

No. That's over behind me. No worries. Native American Archaeology in the Parks, a guide to native heritage sites in our national park. I've written so many.
