Description

Scientific advances have changed the world, but understanding the basis of scientific claims is essential for making informed individual choices and shaping public policy. This book from Cambridge University Press explores how to judge the confidence we should place in scientific findings and addresses the fundamental question of what defines science. Written through the eyes of a practicing scientist, the text synthesizes a working definition of science and its core properties. It examines why science can sometimes get things wrong and provides the necessary framework to navigate societal debates and legal developments. This is an essential read for anyone looking to understand the mechanics behind scientific claims and the distinction between true science and other disciplines.
