Abstract

"Do doctors really know what they are talking about when they tell us vaccines are safe? Should we take climate experts at their word when they warn us about the perils of global warming? Why should we trust science when our own politicians don't? In this landmark book, Naomi Oreskes offers a bold and compelling defense of science, revealing why the social character of scientific knowledge is its greatest strength -- and the greatest reason we can trust it. Tracing the history and philosophy of science from the late nineteenth century to today, Oreskes explains that, contrary to popular belief, there is no single scientific method. Rather, the trustworthiness of scientific claims derives from the social process by which they are rigorously vetted." -- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"This book is intended to be an easy-to-use resource to help health care professionals improve their approach when teaching people to manage chronic disease. It is evident in the industry that many believe they merely have to tell a patient what to do and it will be done. This book will give nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and other health care professionals an insight into the expanded role of teaching and helping people make behaviour changes in the face of chronic illness." - Back cover
