The Record Books • Fear of a Black Planet
Scare-mongering for financial gain, the authors of this ‘scientific time-bomb’ from 1979, persuaded many to believe that a ‘rogue planet’ would be coming ‘twixt this world we call our home’ and the sun within ten years

The Record Books • The Dark Side of the Moon
Alternative scientific textbook from the 60s. Californian professor Floyd achieved enormous success with this study of the moon’s influence on the menstrual cycle. Indeed, he was able to found his own college, specialising in the study of women’s fertility.

The Record Books • Fifth Dimension
Cutting edge* (in 1972) physics exploration, positing a fifth dimension consisting of subatomic ‘sound particles, harmonising in time’. Penned by a group of university graduates (including Uri Geller’s brother, Yaron) calling themselves The Beirut/Yale Relative Dimension Study.
