Starting a science course, how can we make sense of the methods of reasoning? This extension of How to Reason teaches how scientists make definitions, what an experiment is, what can go wrong with an experiment, how scientists reason with models and theories, what counts as a good explanation in science, and how to distinguish science from magic, religion, and fraud.   No background in science is needed.   $21.95 paperback ISBN 978-1-938421-40-2 $14.99 e-book PDF ISBN 978-1-938421-41-9 ePub ISBN 978-1-938421-45-7 Advanced Reasoning Forum · Contact us: rle@ARFbooks.org · Request an examination copy.
