Donald "A House Built on Sand" ed. Noretta Koertge- good thinking- this is a very interesting book; for me it was an eye-opener to find that people also criticise physics in some similar ways to EBP. you can find some similar material on the web eg papers by Sokal: http://www.ee.bgu.ac.il/~censor/katz-directory/01-07-17sokal-lingua-franca-experiment.pdf or read an excerpt here, or buy it cheap on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/reader/0195117255/ref=sib_rdr_ex?ie=UTF8&p=S00N&j=0#reader-page Frances Gardner Professor of Child and Family Psychology Fellow of Wolfson College Department of Social Policy and Social Work University of Oxford, 32 Wellington Square, Oxford OX1 2ER, UK tel 44 [0] 1865 270334 / 270325 fax 270324 e-mail: [log in to unmask] ----- Original Message ----- From: "donald stanley" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 1:27 PM Subject: Re: Special Issue: Evidence in Evidence-Based Medicine Fw: Social Epistemology - informaworld > Most of you probably know that the debate goes on and on.
