What Science Knows: And How It Knows It
The point of the book is to defend the rationality of science and mathematics. Science - most of it - is well-supported because of the objectivity of the relation between evidence and conclusion (as defended by the "objective Bayesian" view of probability). Mathematics is credible because it is deductively proved - and not from arbitrary axioms, but (in the case of arithmetic, calculus and abstract algebra) from axioms that we can see are certainly true. The book gives a semipopular but rigorous treatment of these themes.
