Just the Facts

Untangling Contradictory Claims
Book •
Just the Facts examines how facts are created and supported through science, government, law, and journalism, revealing that facts are actually claims.

These claims are malleable and can change over time through fact-checking, revision, and sometimes rejection.

Best guides us through these processes so that we can question our assumptions and understand why disputes happen in the first place.

In a time of increasing social and political divide, Just the Facts urges us to resist defensiveness over our facts and approach disputes in critical new ways.
