A friend sent me a list, several actually, of books on skeptical (science)
thinking by the Skeptic Society, www.skeptic.com. The lists include Top Ten,
Next 30, the Best of The Rest (nearly 100, and Top 10 for Jr. Skeptics. The Top
Ten includes "Demon Haunted World", "How We Believe", "The Mismeasure of Man",
"Fads and Fallacies...", and others. Occasionaly our county library has a large
table display of books on some topic, such as book banning, women, minorities,
etc. I thought maybe The Skeptic's list might make a similar display either
there, our local community college library, or our museum. The key though would
be the theme? Science thinking? Critical thinking? Nation science month, if
there is such a month? I'd personally like to see one of these organizations
take up the idea. At a minimum, we might see some books in our libraries that
are not yet there. Comments?
