A field guide to lies: critical thinking in the information age
New York, New York: Dutton (2016)
Abstract
We are bombarded with more information each day than our brains can process especially in election season. It's raining bad data, half-truths, and even outright lies. Daniel J. Levitin shows how to recognize misleading announcements, statistics, graphs, and written reports revealing the ways lying weasels can use them.Other Versions
