Reviews

"How can we decide what counts as science? That is the central question of this brilliant book, which ought to be required reading for, well, everyone."--Amanda Gefter "New Scientist, on the first edition " "Pigliucci's book serves a seriously worthwhile purpose: that of giving you, the reader, tools and instructions for assembling your very own 'baloney-detector.' Armed with this, you stand a vastly improved chance of separating the wheat of reliable knowledge from the chaff of fashionable nonsense in your daily harvest of data."--Lou Marinoff "Times Higher Education, on the first edition "
