Allan Anforth

The author is an academic and practising lawyer in Australia. He has had a prior life and long-term interest in theoretical physics, astronomy, maths and philosophy.

As a lawyer, the author daily deals with the difficulties and nuances of the English language. He sees similar difficulties arising in the scientific literature in which he is interested, particularly in the form of assumptions, approximations and logical fallacies of different kinds that both infect and affect some of the relevant scientific literature.

This book is an attempt to translate his experiences gained through a life in law to these relevant areas of science and to do so by reference to many specific examples.
