The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe: How to Know What's Really Real in a World Increasingly Full of Fake

Meer over het boek

We live in a world overflowing with misinformation, bias, myths, deception, and flawed knowledge. There really are no ultimate authority figures--no one has the secret, and there is no place to look up the definitive answers to our questions (not even Google). In this book, the authors explain the tenets of skeptical thinking, and debunk some of the biggest scientific myths, fallacies, and conspiracy theories. You'll learn critical thinking skills, and how to combat sloppy reasoning, bad arguments, and superstitious thinking. -- adapted from Amazon.com summary
