Welcome to episode twenty of the Token Skeptic!
This week I’m interviewing Warren Bonett of Embiggen Books. We also discuss some great science books and I hope will be a regular feature in forthcoming shows.
Warren’s bookstore, Embiggen Books, is in Noosaville on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia. Their website is www.embiggenbooks.com.
The books reviewed for this episode are:
Michael Specter’s Denialism: How Irrational Thinking Hinders Scientific Progress, Harms The Planet and Threatens Our Lives
Deirdree Barrett’s Supernormal Stimuli - How Primal Urges Overan Their Evolutionary Purpose.
You'll also hear us mention in passing The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot and Bruce M. Hood's Supersense: From Superstition to Religion, the Brain Science of Belief.
If you’d like to suggest some books for us to look at or make some recommendations, please feel free to contact either myself or Warren about this episode.
