Creating Scientific Controversies by David Harker
Rate this book
Clear rating
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

The Last Man Takes LSD by Mitchell Dean

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

The Edges of Fiction by Jacques Rancière
Rate this book
Clear rating
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

Living on the Edge by Celine-Marie Pascale
Rate this book

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

Research Project Management by Ruth Belling

This is a short book. It lists and describes research management tools, from word clouds to referencing, from cloud providers to online meetings.

It is fine. It is useful. It also provides free options as particular services activate 'freemium' servic

Research Proposal by Grant Andrews
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is a short book that is solid. It offers predictable if useful headings to structure a research proposal. It is clear that this book is part of an 'academic coaching' business, so the book sells the service.

But it is solid and does provide headi

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

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

The Ear of the Other by Jacques Derrida

Clear rating
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

Modern American Counter Writing by A. Robert Lee

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
