Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Unread book in pristine condition. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Issued without dustjacket. 'Confronting the Experts' brings together six personal case histories of challenges to establishment experts. The authors tell why they questioned conventional wisdom, what methods they used, how they dealt with the experts' response, and what lessons they learned. Because the book shows how powerful groups can get their way by gaining the support of intellectual authorities and also how these authorities can be challenged, it provides insights into the issues of power, dissent, and social change.
