Scientific nonsense
19.99 €
In order to define our worldview and make informed decisions that affect our lives, we need, among other things, to form our attitude towards expert statements and the results of scientific research. "Scientists lie and hide everything" or "scientists have proven it, so it is so"? Between these two extremes lies a vast field of ambiguity, and Stuart Ritchie's book helps us navigate it and find our position. Using stunning examples, Ritchie describes systemic problems in the public presentation of science and the structure of science itself, allowing us to critically rethink everything we have read, watched and listened to about science so far. But he does not take away our hope for progress - on the contrary, we learn a great deal about what is being done and what more can be done to build trust in the work of scientists on more secure and sustainable foundations.
