Recenzii
Adam Kucharski explains how certainty, even in math, can be an illusion
Kucharski has a knack of making complex problems sound simple - and exciting
Profound and utterly absorbing... elegantly explores how proof is not just a mathematical concept but a vital tool in decision-making, justice, and survival
As misinformation and disinformation run riot, including in health and wellness, the concepts of truth and certainty have never felt more slippery. Kucharski explains how we know things and to what level of certainty, and how to hone our own decision-making. Engaging and uncondescending
Excellent... a great guide to embracing this complexity in truth-seeking
A fascinating tour of the history of what has counted as proof ... we enter a wild realm where intuitions break down completely
Illuminating ... This is a serious book by a serious person. It's full of gnarly theorems and concepts. But it's also a virtuosic look at the varied and sometimes amusing ways human beings have over the centuries used their intelligence to make sense of the world
Insightful, absorbing and entertaining, Proof traces the rise of humankind's conscious but fallible rationality from the time of the ancient greeks to the rise of modern epidemiology
The case for better evidence in post-evidence times...a slice of the history of mathematics demonstrating that even logic can't deliver absolute truth
Shows how proof is more elusive than we realise, whether in law, science, policy or math
In his brilliant new book Proof, Adam tells the story of how nineteenth century thinkers began to challenge Euclid's self evident truths - and how this shaped the history of mathematics. It's a great read that covers many fields, including history, politics, statistics, computer science and epidemiology
In an increasingly complex world, where we're beset by information, misinformation, and endlessly required to make decisions about it all, Kucharski shines a brilliant and clarifying light through the muddle. Proof is a puzzle-solver's delight; the essential guide we need to make sense of what and who to trust, and the risks therein
A vivid, intelligent and wide-ranging book about how we know what we know. Adam Kucharski is a brilliant and entertaining guide
Kucharski explains why getting at the truth of just about anything is incredibly hard. There's fascinating technical detail here, and a moral: the more we appreciate how hard proof is to come by, the better we can bridge the widening gulf between experts and sceptics
It's a difficult task to know anything for sure, but in Proof, Adam Kucharski explores what it even means to know, to believe and to convince. It's fascinating, it's insightful and, best of all, it's accessible.
Praise for The Rules of Contagion:'An eye-opening read, a worthwhile book
A clear, calm, historical overview of the mathematical ideas at the forefront of our pandemic response, where they came from and how well they stand up when you put them to the test.
Charts the history of this now-pivotal science, from its origins in understanding the spread of malaria, to its central role in predicting the dissemination of everything from diseases to fake news.
Astonishingly bold...Kucharski has pulled off the extraordinary trick of shining the brightest light on this unseen, menacing, but ultimately beatable, enemy.
As a prominent UK epidemiologist, Kucharski became a hero to some and villain to others for his evidence-based views on the Covid-19 pandemic. The experience led him to write this excellent book about proof, uncertainty and - very importantly - how to communicate scientific evidence to the public as clearly and convincingly as possible
