Are you interested in exploring the vast mysteries of the cosmos, understanding human evolutionary history, or talking about the long-term future of the planet earth? These topics and more will be discussed in Black Holes, Beakers, and Books, a popular science book club that reads and discusses popular science books published within the last five years. September’s selection is Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction by Philip E. Tetlock, who provides a history of forecasting, including successes and failures, and insists that accurate prediction can be learned.
