A book that everyone who claims "skepticism" should read.

[Trakar]

Fourat Janabi has just released a new book entitled: “S3: Science, Statistics and Skepticism.”
A recent review from SBWire states:

Fourat explores scientific research about cancer, genetically modified foods, climate change, vaccinations, western medicine, homeopathy, evolution, and other fascinating current issues. This book is about knowing how to differentiate between bad science and good science when reading scientific studies on the Internet. There are many articles out there that doubt climate change, deny evolution, rationalize homeopathy, fabricate cancer causes, or oppose vaccinations. S3 helps readers learn how to use critical thinking skills to debunk nonsense.

Fourat criticizes the prevalence of misinformation online and in the media about scientific research. He teaches readers the importance of credible sources, sufficient evidence, placebo effects, biases, and sample sizes so that the reader can better recognize bad science.

I have only just begun to read through the book, and while being simply written and easy to read, it seems to cover the basic principles quite well. It is much in the same vein as many skepticism guides such as the ones produced by Sagan, Asimov, Phil Plait, Paul Kurtz, and James Randi.
