[Kaufman and Kaufman] have done a masterful job of curating a
series of essays on science and pseudoscience....This comprehensive
work can not be praised enough. Highly recommended.—Choice
...an invaluable volume that examines the cognitive biases that
lead to pseudoscience, the history of pseudoscience, the reasons
for its wide acceptance, how it is endangering our society, how to
recognize it, and how we might reduce its impact....a
tour-de-force, a compendium of vital information about
science....The book is an excellent antidote to fake news and a
handy reference.—Science-Based Medicine
