Rezensionen

"With Religion and Conspiracy Theories, Robertson manages to give an original theoretical contribution to the study of conspiracy theories while simultaneously presenting a highly readable introduction for students. Good examples and discussions are combined with sharp analyses and good pedagogical skills - I'm looking forward to using this in my next class."
