Steven L. Goldman

Science Wars

The Battle over Knowledge and Reality

Buch

In this book, Steven L. Goldman breaks down the barriers between these two groups to explain what scientists know, how they know it, why it's reliable, and why the general public doesn't always know how to make sense of this. Taking readers from Plato's perpetual battle to modern disagreements about vaccines, Goldman's Science Wars provides a thought-provoking analysis of the reliability of science.
