This is a fine book, and the best presentation of confirmation bias I have seen. There is strong attention to Wakefield - obviously - but also how the climate 'controversy' has been created. There is a fine chapter on Intelligent Design, that demonst ...more | |

This is my book of the year. Whenever I am saddened or worried about the state of universities - the state of knowledge - the state of thinking - I will remember this book. This book has enacted the best of intellectual projects. The writers take a v ...more | |

Ranciere always appears to be like your drunk friend. Incredibly profound. Then weird. Then he needs to go to the toilet. This book captures all three tendencies. Wow, it is intriguing. It is beautifully written. It is edgingly brilliant. And then ban ...more |

A strong book. A disturbing book. A necessary book. Pascale has captured some of the atmosphere and methodology of those great books by Bea Campbell. That is, making a strong argument, with effective and precise research, and then taking those argume ...more | |

This was a solid book. For the beginning, the titles and structure enable the construction of a research proposal. Big tick. However the book is prescriptive. And it provides 'details' about the research proposal that are not accurate or required for ...more |

OK this book does not align with the title. And please note that I have corrected a spelling error in the book cover title which reads, "Reserach Proposal for Ph.D:econtentonPhDadmissions." This is not a book about how to write a research proposal. In ...more |

There is a lot going on here. If you are frustrated or waiting for 'the point' - then this is not your book. But I gained so much from Derrida here. He was having to put up with basic questions. But he was classically French cool. He put up with rubbi ...more |

I have been looking forward to reading this book. And yes - I am disappointed. The book - overwhelmingly - focuses on the Beat writers and 'Ethics' (a diverse and odd combination of non-'white' humans). Everything presented about the Beats is part of ...more | |
