Understanding Scientific Reasoning

Not everything that claims to be science is. UNDERSTANDING SCIENTIFIC REASONING shows you easy-to-use principles that let you distinguish good science from bad information you encounter in both textbooks and the popular media. And because it uses the same processes that scientists use (but simplified), you'll know you're getting the most reliable instruction around. You'll also learn how to reason through case studies using the same informal logic skills employed by scientists.Giere, Ronald N. is the author of 'Understanding Scientific Reasoning', published 1997 under ISBN 9780155054059 and ISBN 0155054058.
