Willful Ignorance: The Mismeasure of Uncertainty

Willful Ignorance constitutes an easy to read book about the problem of uncertainty and the mathematical probabilities, its measure. The author chooses a historical approach as a mean of illustrating the challenges that scientists face when dealing with uncertainty. Situations like context dependent information, generalization or substitution of qualitative information with quantitative information in fields like social sciences and biomedical sciences are just some of the problems that may not be so well quantified by mathematical probabilities. The book is a welcomed reiteration of the challenges posed by uncertainty, which also proposes a solution for reconciling them. Willful Ignorance: The Mismeasure of Uncertainty
