Book Titles: U.S. vs Them

U.K. edition

Last month, Deepak Chopra interviewed Dr. Rupert Sheldrake on his podcast. Sheldrake has recently published a book that questions whether science has become its own religion, and if in the process, has lost its ability to make new discoveries. 

According to Sheldrake, the scientific community discourages people who think "outside the box" and question deep-rooted facts/theories. Scientists have been pushed out of jobs for holding alternative view points, creating a sort of "boys club" of modern science. But without innovative thinkers like Galileo and Darwin challenging the scientific conventions of their time, we wouldn't be where we are today. So what ideas are they labeling "unscientific" that could be the next big step for science? 

It was a fascinating discussion.  But why I was really inspired to write this blog post was because the Sheldrake's book was published in the U.K. and America under different titles that seem to hint at our national interests (or at least the Publisher's idea of what will catch our attention). The U.K. edition is called "The Science Delusion", while the American edition is "Science Set Free."

This isn't "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." This is big. Do Europeans like mysteries and deception? Do Americans like freedom? Are there any horse socks? Is anyone listening to me?
