Scam-Proof: Good Information & Critical Thinking for an Evidence-Based Life

By Dee Duckworth Shneiderman

This book will help you continue gathering information to improve your understanding of the world. You will be learning to protect yourself from the hoaxes and scams out there. It is heavily committed to real, hard science and is stridently opposed to pseudoscience. The information is presented in an understandable, easy-going format. The text is stuffed with references and links, and there is an extensive "Suggested Further Reading" section - all designed to help you find more good information. Some beliefs appear to be tenaciously resistant to correction. Although most of us can read well enough to find the information needed to keep us out of trouble, many simply refuse to believe that science is the best source of answers to life's puzzles. Science works. This book will help you learn how to find information, evaluate it, and incorporate that knowledge into your life.
