¡°A modern classic . . . Bergstrom and West leave the reader feeling a very particular kind of smarter: the empowered kind. . . . A straight-talking survival guide to the mean streets of a dying democracy and a global pandemic.¡±?Wired
¡°A passionate exposition of how the language of science can be weaponized to mislead both researchers and the public . . . landing just when it has never been more important to know how to navigate data.¡±?Nature
¡°The information landscape is strewn with quantitative cowflop; read this book if you want to know where not to step.¡±?Jordan Ellenberg, author of How Not to be Wrong
¡°If I could make this critical handbook¡¯s contents required curriculum for every high school student (thus replacing trigonometry), then I would do so. I highly recommend Calling Bullshit for our modern existence in the age of misinformation, and regret only that I didn¡¯t think of the title for my own book.¡±?Cathy O¡¯Neil, author of Weapons of Math Destruction
¡°I laughed, I cried?to read Bergstrom and West¡¯s great examples of ¡®bullshit.¡¯ This is a gripping read for anybody who cares about how we are fooled (and how not to be), and the connection to numeracy and science. But it¡¯s also just great fun. This is a necessary book for our times.¡±?Saul Perlmutter, Nobel Laureate and professor of physics, University of California at Berkeley
¡°If you want to read what will surely be a classic, buy Calling Bullshit. It addresses the most important issue of our time: the decline in respect for Truth. It is also a literary masterpiece. Every page?indeed, every paragraph?is a new bit of fun.¡± ?George Akerlof, 2001 Nobel Laureate in economics
¡°Each of us now swims through deception so pervasive that we no longer realize it¡¯s there. Calling Bullshit presents a master class in how to spot it, how to resist it, and how to keep it from succeeding.¡±?Paul Romer, 2018 Nobel Laureate in economics
¡°Part playful polemic and part serious scientific treatise on a plague that ¡®pollutes our world by misleading people about specific issues and . . . undermines our ability to trust information in general¡¯ . . . a statistically challenging master class in the art of bullshit detection.¡±?Kirkus Reviews
