This book shows how science works, fails to work, or pretends to
work, by looking at examples from such diverse fields as physics,
biomedicine, psychology, and economics. Social science affects our
lives every day through the predictions of experts and the rules
and regulations they devise. Sciences like economics, sociology and
health are subject to more 'operating limitations' than classical
fields like physics or chemistry or biology. Yet, their methods and
results must also be judged according to the same scientific
standards. Every literate citizen should understand these standards
and be able to tell the difference between good science and bad.
Scientific Method enables readers to develop a critical, informed
view of scientific practice by discussing concrete examples of how
real scientists have approached the problems of their fields. It is
ideal for students and professionals trying to make sense of the
role of science in society, and of the meaning, value, and
limitations of scientific methodology in the social sciences.
