Scientific Thought and Research Methodology

In an era polluted with misinformation, pseudoscience, and "alternative facts," this book couldn't be timelier. It introduces the novice to scientific thought while refreshing the philosophical processes of experienced scientists. This book provides fertile content including ontological, cognitive, technic, logical, philosophical, and ethical dimensions of making science. It presents content to warn readers about pseudoscience and the art of deception and guides them in recognizing fake science. It should be a must-read for any science course from high school to doctoral studies.

A must-read for curious minds interested in the scientific thought process.
