Nonsense on Stilts by Massimo Pigliucci
An exploration of the nature of science, the borderlands of fringe science, and the nonsense on stilts. Presenting case studies on many controversial topics, it cuts through the ambiguity surrounding science to look at how science is conducted, how it is disseminated, how it is interpreted, and what it means to our society.
"A refreshingly original excursion over the unmarked territory separating science from pseudoscience and nonscience, Nonsense on Stilts is a thoughtful examination of the tumultuous terrain between the two and a primer on how one tells the difference" - Kendrick Frazier, editor of Skeptical Inquirer.
Massimo Pigliucci is professor of philosophy at the City University of New York. He has written many books, including, most recently, with Jonathan Kaplan, Making Sense of Evolution, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
