Superstition: A Very Short Introduction explores the nature and history of superstition from antiquity to the present. For two millennia, superstition was a label derisively applied to foreign religions and unacceptable religious practices, and its primary purpose was used to separate groups and assert religious and social authority.

The evidence is spontaneous, sporadic and brief, like lightning, but less common, so stories were quickly exaggerated and became unbelievable. But in this haystack of superstition a needle of true evidence still lurks. This book identifies the evidence, defines survival, and provides plausible speculation about how it could happen without violating the known laws of physics.
