“As the title suggests, Gareth Leng and Rhodri Ivor Leng’s
collaborative book, The Matter of Facts: Skepticism, Persuasion,
and Evidence in Science, presents an insightful, critical, and
detailed analysis of the building blocks that comprise statements
and ideas broadly considered to be ‘facts.’ Gareth Leng’s expertise
in the field of physiology combines thoughtfully with Rhodri Ivor
Leng’s work in the sociology of science to create a unique
perspective on the beautifully faulty and faultily beautiful
enterprise of modern science.”
