" While there are many details one can quibble about, Nate Silver gets the big picture right: Bayesian learning is a superior way of obtaining knowledge, especially in a probabilistic field (and it turns out that most fields are probabilistic). Silver wrote a very simple, high-level introduction to Bayesian reasoning, and the book serves more as a motivator to go out and learn from more technical sources, but it serves as an overview of the many fields where these techniques led to major improvements in forecasting and knowledge and the book makes for a quick and pleasant read.
