Racist pseudoscience may be on the rise, but science is no ally to racists. Instead science and history can be powerful allies against bigotry, granting us the clearest view of how people actually are, rather than how we judge them to be. How to Argue with a Racist dismantles outdated notions of race by illuminating what modern genetics can and can't tell us about human difference. It is a vital manifesto for a 21st-century understanding of human evolution and variation and a timely weapon against the misuse of science to justify racism.

Excellent explainer on race (psuedo)science. Would not be great in an actual argument with racists.

Medicine, education, psychology, health, parenting - wherever it really matters, we look to science for advice. Science Fictions reveals the disturbing flaws that undermine our understanding of all of these fields and more.

Many find it fashionable to critique institutions, but few offer ways to fix it like this.
This book offers a deeper look at the replication crisis and the roots of how bad science come to undermine the institution. More so, the author avoids interpersonal drama and dispassionately explains how poor incentives and controls result in the fraud and bias in academia.
While a must read for academics and science writers, the book offers fantastic definitions and explainers for terms you never knew were important like "p-hacking" and "pre-prints" as well as a fantastic appendix on how to read an academic paper.
This is definitely on my list of recommended books henceforth.
