Why read it?
1 author picked Seeing Red as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Apart from offering a particular perspective on cosmology and extragalactic astrophysics, the well-known heterodox astrophysicist Halton Arp offers some observations on the corruption of academic science and the difficulties scientists claiming new ideas face.
I do not think what he says about astronomy is right, but certainly his complaints on how physics and astronomy gets done contains valuable wisdom on sociology of science.
From Martín's list on mainstream science as monopoly of truth.
