About this book

The book takes on constructivism, the view that ‘nature’ and ‘reality’ amount to whatever scientists agree to count as natural or real, and that scientific methods are conventions serving social or political ends. Parsons examines these claims critically.

The subtitle links the discussion to dinosaurs and the science wars debate.
