"Cargo Cult Science" - by Richard Feynman
So here's one of the smarter guys of the 20th century attempting to explain the difference between science and information. Science is asking questions about what we can observe and interact with and being scrupulously honest about the answers, even if the answer is not profitable! Information then is just about what we can tell others with limited or no scrupulous honesty involved, e.g. religion (no two religious experiences are alike, can't test them, they fight each other to the death, etc.) politics (for flat out lying check out the Nazi aggression in the late 1930's or the American aggression towards Iraq & Afghanistan!) or even science (reflexology, Intelligent Design, stem cell research).
I've read a couple of Feynman books and they were greatly enjoyable. Feynman has that natural Occam's Razor like mind that really pisses people off! Be sure to read the commander's response to Feynman repeatedly demonstrating he could open every officer's safe at the Manhattan Project. A typical bureaucratic, military response! He's lucky they didn't have a Predator drone to take him out!
