In a world of fake news, alternative facts, partisan news, pseudoscience, and social media hoaxes, The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe is a panacea of sorts. This book doesn't tell you what to think, but instead, offers guidance on using scientific skepticism to think about things critically. An excellent read for anyone in your life who, without a second thought, is convinced that anything they see on YouTube (or anywhere else, for that matter) is 100% unadulterated fact. In fact, I'm having my teen read it because he often unquestioningly believes what he finds on the Internet. Highly recommended.
The must-read book from the creators of The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast - perfect for fans of The Art of Thinking Clearly and Factfulness (and all aspiring skeptics)
This book will change the way you think about thinking. It will change how you think about the world. And it will change your life, as it has the for these readers, and so many more:

'Thorough, informative, and enlightening' - Neil deGrasse Tyson, author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

The Justice of Kings by Richard Swan is probably the best adult fantasy I've read since GoT. The lead character's arc has serious Breaking Bad vibes. Enthralling from the first page to the last. The entire trilogy is definitely worth reading—my highest recommendation.
