Sinossi

Public Misinformation examines the pervasive impact of false information, especially concerning public health, in our digitally driven world. It explores how misinformation spreads online, influencing choices about vaccines and treatments, and eroding trust in science. The book uniquely presents this information in a way that's accessible to a broad audience, even without prior specialized knowledge, making it valuable for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand this complex issue.

 
The book delves into the creation and dissemination of health-related misinformation, along with the psychological and sociological factors that make people susceptible. For example, confirmation bias can lead individuals to readily accept information that aligns with their existing beliefs, regardless of its accuracy. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for combating the harmful effects of misinformation campaigns.

 
The book begins by defining key concepts and then progresses through case studies, analysis of psychological mechanisms, and proposed mitigation strategies. It draws from diverse sources, including empirical studies and social media analytics, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the misinformation ecosystem and offers practical guidance for evaluating sources and promoting media literacy.

    A behind-the-scenes look at how the military uses video game technology to train soldiers, treat veterans, and entice new recruitsHow does the U.S. military train its soldiers for new forms of armed conflict, all within the constraints of diminished defense budgets? Increasingly, the answer is cutting-edge video game technology. Corey Mead shows us training sessions where soldiers undertake multiplayer “missions” that test combat skills, develop unit cohesion, and teach cultural awareness. He immerses himself in 3-D battle simulations so convincing that they leave his heart racing. And he shows how the military, which has shaped American education more than any other force over the last century, fuels the adoption of games as learning tools—and recruitment come-ons. Mead also details how the military uses games to prepare soldiers for their return to the home front and to treat PTSD. Military-funded researchers were closely involved with the computing advances that led to the invention of the Internet. Now, as Mead proves, we are poised at the brink of a similar explosion in game technology. War Play reveals that many of tomorrow’s teaching tools, therapies, and entertainments can be found in today’s military.

    In this new collection of bite-size pop science essays, bestselling author, chemistry professor, and radio broadcaster Dr. Joe Schwarcz shows that you can find science virtually anywhere you look. And the closer you look, the more fascinating it becomes. In this volume, we look through our magnifying glass at maraschino cherries, frizzy hair, duct tape, pickle juice, yellow school buses, aphrodisiacs, dental implants, and bull testes. If those don’t tickle your fancy, how about aconite murders, shot towers, book smells, Swarovski crystals, French wines, bees, or head transplants? You can also learn about the scientific escapades of James Bond, California’s confusing Proposition 65, the problems with oxygen on Mars, Valentine’s Meat Juice, the benefits of pasteurization, the pros and cons of red light therapy, the controversy swirling around perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), why English cucumbers are wrapped in plastic, and how probiotics may have seeded Hitler’s downfall. 
    		 
    Superfoods, Silkworms, and Spandex answers all your burning questions about the science of everyday life, like:
    		
    		why “superfood” is a marketing term, not a scientific one;
    		why plastic wrap is sometimes the environmental choice;
    		why supplements to reduce inflammation may just reduce your bank account;
    		how maraschino cherries went from a luxury good to a cheap sundae topper;
    		what’s behind “old book smell”;
    		how margarine became a hot item for bootleggers;
    		why duct tape is useful, but not on ducts; and
    		how onstage accidents led to fireproof fabrics.
