Описание: Bullshit isn't what it used to be.Now, two science professors give us the tools to dismantle misinformation and think clearly in a world of fake news and bad data."A modern classic . . . a straight-talking survival guide to the mean streets of a dying democracy and a global pandemic."--Wired
Misinformation, disinformation, and fake news abound and it's increasingly difficult to know what's true. Our media environment has become hyperpartisan. Science is conducted by press release. Startup culture elevates bullshit to high art. We are fairly well equipped to spot the sort of old-school bullshit that is based in fancy rhetoric and weasel words, but most of us don't feel qualified to challenge the avalanche of new-school bullshit presented in the language of math, science, or statistics. In Calling Bullshit, Professors Carl Bergstrom and Jevin West give us a set of powerful tools to cut through the most intimidating data. You don't need a lot of technical expertise to call out problems with data. Are the numbers or results too good or too dramatic to be true? Is the claim comparing like with like? Is it confirming your personal bias? Drawing on a deep well of expertise in statistics and computational biology, Bergstrom and West exuberantly unpack examples of selection bias and muddled data visualization, distinguish between correlation and causation, and examine the susceptibility of science to modern bullshit. We have always needed people who call bullshit when necessary, whether within a circle of friends, a community of scholars, or the citizenry of a nation. Now that bullshit has evolved, we need to relearn the art of skepticism.

Описание: Based on decades of research work in both German and Russian archives, as well as interviews with a large number of key figures and veterans, Stalingrad - New Perspectives on an Epic Battle brings our knowledge on this turning point of World War II several big steps forward . It brings forward many hitherto unknown facts and dispels many myths and misconceptions of the battle. Why did the Germans focus so much on Stalingrad? The myth that the name of the city - "Stalins City" - played any role at all is analyzed and rejected: Stalingrad in fact was the key to German success, both trategically and tactically. How and why is explained in the book. How were the Soviets able to hold out in Stalingrad? What happened to the civilians in Stalingrad? A complete re-evaluation and examination of what has been said to be German "mistakes" during this campaign. The German plans to retreat from Stalingrad - and how they failed. Hermann Gorings and the Luftwaffes biggest mistake in this campaign was not the air bridge, which needs to be re-evaluated, but something with far greater implications, although neglected in history writing. This work on the ground war during the Battle of Stalingrad is the continuation of Christer Bergstroms previous book Operation Barbarossa 1941: Hitler against Stalin and supplements his Black Cross / Red Star series about the air war on the Eastern Front.

Описание: When Christer Bergstrom published the first English edition of his ground-breaking mammoth work The Ardennes 1944-1945: Hitlers Winter Offensive in 2014, it hit the World War II community with the impact of an earthquake. Based upon tremendous research into primary sources and interviews with very many of the veterans, this book turned the previous image of the Battle of the Bulge completely upside-down. Although tearing apart many myths that surrounded this battle it has hardly received any negative criticism with such scrutiny has the author treated the sources and source references. This book has been called the new main reference work on the battle. It still remains at the very edge of historical research on this epic battle. Especially the veterans from the Battle of the Bulge have praised the work as completely outstanding. This new Volume I deals with the background of and the build-up for the offensive, the surprising German strike, and the tremendous and previously overlooked German successes during the first period of the offensive. The previously covered-up German successes and American failures are presented and detailed and carefully analyzed.

Especially the veterans from the Battle of the Bulge have praised the work as completely outstanding. The new Volume II deals with various turning points in the battle: First the failure of SS-Kampfgruppe Peiper, the Allied Air Forces severing of the German supply lines around Christmas, and Pattons counter-offensive. Next, the bitter defeat sustained by Pattons Third U.S. Army in the tank battle at Bastogne, and several other German victories in tank battles that have previously been covered up in history writing, how the Luftwaffe actually gained air superiority, and the German offensive restarted in January 1945. Although the bloody battles in January 1945 cost both sides higher losses per day than in December 1944, they have been neglected in previous history writing. Here they are described in detail. The reason why the Ardennes Offensive failed is discussed, as are its quite significant repercussions.
