Title: McScience
Product review: I think the only section of this book that is truly informative is the list of reference material at the end of it. While the audience of the book is geared towards your average Joe, there is an incredible amount of uncritical examples without strong direct reference to actual scientific work. I'm speaking specifically of DNA. While the authors spend a lot of time showing that DNA isn't a simple blueprint, I found their explanations lacking in attempting to come up with an alternative theory, one that didn't seemed to be well engaged with other contemporary thought.That said, the authors seem quite aware of the breadth of content in the fields this book writes about. If you're looking for a great list of primary works, I would definitely consult their section on further reading (it's not labeled 'Works Cited' or 'Bibliography').
