Here's how it develops....at least once and often twice a week I walk into a Barnes & Noble and head straight to the Current Affairs section. After going through the books.....and it's not easy because 95% of them are not face forward.....I walk around to the aisle next to Current Affairs which is Christian Life. I then go over to the magazines to see if there are any interesting cover stories. If I haven't found anything by now.....I start all over again!
Generally I shy away from non-fiction books that cover a different subject in every chapter. I don't really know why. Maybe it's because I just would rather have an entire book on one subject, but this is not always the case and was not the case with Fake Science, Exposing the Left's skewed statistics, fuzzy facts, and dodgy data by Austin Rose. (Regnery Publishing)
Here's my suggestion if you want to consider it. Go to Barnes & Noble, or Books-A-Million or any bookstore....and read the introduction of seven and a half pages to Fake Science. I'm confident that that's all it will take...you'll buy the book.
Fake Science covers eleven topics where the 'science' of the Left does anything but real science in its attempt, a very successful attempt by the way, to actually cause the American public to believe that which is not true...all to further the Left's agenda. Let me give one comment in that introduction that I had to read a couple of times because it is so profound....."A 'transgender woman looks at his male body in the mirror and sees a woman in just the same way as an anorexic girl looks in the mirror and sees her skeletal self as fat."
I rely quite a bit on blurbs when deciding on what book to buy....particularly if I am familiar with and hold a high opinion of the person who wrote the blurb recommendation for the book. I'll give you bits from the four blurbs on Fake Science:
Jonathan Last, senior writer at The Weekly Standard...
"For some reason the Left only seems to be interested in 'science' when it tells other people how to live their lives. Fake Science is a smart, encyclopedic collection of all the ways the Left professes to 'love' science while rejecting actual, you know, science."
William Briggs, Ph.D., adjunct professor at Cornell University....
"With verve and vivid examples, Austin Ruse dissects the Science Bluster, a dance of two steps. First progressives call their politics science. Then, in step two, they dismiss real science as politics."
Robert R. Reilly, author and senior fellow at the America Foreign Policy Council
after naming..."pseudoscience-transgenderism, 'born that way' homosexuality, abortion, global warming, and others".... he writes....."Each of these has, in fact, become its own religion, which is why its adherents cleave to it against all the facts of real science. You will be entertained and enlightened by Ruse's demolition of these false gods."
Jay Richards, Ph.D., author, senior fellow, executive editor, Assistant Research Professor in the School of Business and Economics at the Catholic University of America, and analytic philosopher and intelligent design and free market advocate...
"For decades the Left has claimed the mantle of science, and accused conservatives of being 'anti-science'.....Austin Ruse does a masterful job of exposing this hypocrisy. He offers a delightfully readable survey of today's science wars and defends real science from its detractors."
