Drawing from decades as a science educator and a lifetime of lived inquiry, this book doesn't tell you what to think-it invites you into a richer, more compassionate understanding of how we come to know, believe, and make meaning.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Renee Zukin, Educator, Entrepreneur, \u0026amp; Author of Every Day, I'm Brave\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCertainly Uncertain\u003c\/em\u003e is a book about how we attain knowledge and how we form our beliefs. These two topics are amazingly entangled and complicated. This book uses a variety of topics to untangle and illuminate knowledge and belief in fascinating detail without ever getting boring. Swain uses a conversational tone with humor, stories, and research to explore these ideas using a wide array of topics. From bigfoot to neurobiology, Galileo to epigenetics, the notion of free will to the Salem witch trials, this book entertains and offers a blueprint for evaluating our own thinking. The book also offers a path forward to a broader understanding of the beliefs of others.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Will Swain writes with wit, in an easy-to-read voice.
