"Lee McIntyre identifies the central problem of truth claims today--from global warming and GMOs to evolution and vaccinations--'willful ignorance.' Respecting Truthshould be read by every member of Congress before voting on legislation, and they should do so based on the facts instead of party line. The problem is group think. The solution is having a 'designated skeptic'. I nominate Lee McIntyre." Michael Shermer, Skeptic Magazine, USA "This is a compellingly written book that addresses a timely issue. It is well researched, tightly constructed, and insightful. It makes for an engaging, informative and eye-opening read.


The prose is light and winning, and it provides an expertly guided tour of an issue of profound importance to us all." Andrew Norman, Carnegie Mellon University, USA "McIntyre is very clear about the overall argumentative structure, and he provides excellent examples for each topic under discussion. Although the ideas being discussed are sometimes rather sophisticated, his exposition is very relaxed and casual."
