Drawing lessons from cases where scientists got it wrong, Naomi Oreskes (Merchants of Doubt) shows how consensus is a crucial indicator of when a scientific matter has been settled, and when the knowledge produced is likely to be trustworthy. She offers a defense of science and reveals why the social character of scientific knowledge is its greatest strength... and the greatest reason we can trust it.
