书籍简介

意识到我们生活在一个充斥着错误信息、偏见、神话、欺骗和有缺陷的知识的世界中，是令人恐惧的。真的没有特别人物--没有人掌握秘密，也没有地方可以为我们的问题寻找明确的答案（甚至谷歌也没有）。

幸运的是，《如何独立思考》是你穿越现代生活迷宫的地图。在这里，史蒂文-诺维拉博士--与鲍勃-诺维拉、卡拉-圣玛丽亚、杰-诺维拉和埃文-伯恩斯坦--将解释怀疑论思维的信条，并驳斥一些大的科学神话、谬论和阴谋论--从反疫苗到顺势疗法，从UFO目击到N射线。你将学习科学和伪科学之间的区别，基本的批判性思维技巧，与你的疯狂同事讨论阴谋论的方法，以及如何打击马虎的推理、糟糕的论证和迷信思维。

那么，你准备好和他们一起进行史诗般的科学探索了吗？这个探索把我们从蜷缩在黑暗的山洞里带到了月球上（是的，我们真的做到了）。 不要惊慌! 有了《如何独立思考》，我们可以一起做这件事。

It is intimidating to realize that we live in a world overflowing with misinformation, bias, myths, deception, and flawed knowledge. There really are no ultimate authority figures - no one has the secret, and there is no place to look up the definitive answers to our questions (not even Google). 

Luckily, The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe is your map through this maze of modern life. Here Dr. Steven Novella - along with Bob Novella, Cara Santa Maria, Jay Novella, and Evan Bernstein - will explain the tenets of skeptical thinking and debunk some of the biggest scientific myths, fallacies, and conspiracy theories - from anti-vaccines to homeopathy, UFO sightings to N-rays. You'll learn the difference between science and pseudoscience, essential critical thinking skills, ways to discuss conspiracy theories with that crazy co-worker of yours, and how to combat sloppy reasoning, bad arguments, and superstitious thinking. 

So are you ready to join them on an epic scientific quest, one that has taken us from huddling in dark caves to setting foot on the moon? (Yes, we really did that.) Don't Panic! With The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe, we can do this together.
