How can you separate fact from fiction in a world filled with misinformation, misleading statistics, and exaggerated claims?

In Calling Bullshit, biologist Carl Bergstrom and statistician Jevin West offer an entertaining and practical guide to spotting nonsense, questioning questionable information, and thinking more critically about the things we're told.

Based on their popular University of Washington course, the book explores how misleading claims spread through politics, science, business, and everyday life, revealing why even seemingly convincing facts and figures aren't always what they appear.

Using real-world examples and six straightforward rules of thumb, the authors show readers how to recognise misinformation, challenge unreliable arguments, and avoid being misled.

Witty, accessible, and thought-provoking, this is an engaging read for anyone interested in critical thinking, media literacy, statistics, and understanding the modern information age.
