  • The account presented in this book draws from Michael D. Gordin, “Myth 26: That a Clear Line of Demarcation Has Separated Science from Pseudoscience,” in Newton’s Apple and Other Myths about Science, edited by Ronald L. Numbers and Kostas Kampourakis, 219–225 (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2015).
  • Every introduction to the philosophy of science will include some discussion of the demarcation problem, including: Alan Chalmers, What Is This Thing Called Science?, 4th ed. (Indianapolis: Hackett, 2013 [1976]); Naomi Oreskes, Why Trust Science? (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2019); and Samir Okasha, Philosophy of Science: A Very Short Introduction (New York: Oxford University Press, 2002). Specialized philosophical accounts tend to be critical of Popper: Massimo Pigliucci, Nonsense on Stilts: How to Tell Science from Bunk (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2010); and Massimo Pigliucci and Maarten Boudry, eds., Philosophy of Pseudoscience: Reconsidering the Demarcation Problem (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2013). A sociological approach is provided in Thomas F. Gieryn, Cultural Boundaries of Science: Credibility on the Line (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1999); and Harry Collins and Trevor Pinch, The Golem: What You Should Know about Science (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998). Material on individual movements and doctrines can be found in the following sections.
  • Langmuir’s “pathological science” speech is published as “Pathological Science,” transcribed and edited by Robert N. Hall, Physics Today 42, no. 10 (1989): 36–48.

  • The literature on the history of astrology is vast and generally highly specialized. For the history up to the Renaissance, good points of entry are Anthony Grafton, Cardano’s Cosmos: The Worlds and Works of a Renaissance Astrologer (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1999); Darin Hayton, The Crown and the Cosmos: Astrology and the Politics of Maximilian I (Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 2015); and the many mentions throughout David C. Lindberg, The Beginnings of Western Science: The European Scientific Tradition in Philosophical, Religious, and Institutional Context, Prehistory to A. D. 1450, 2d. ed. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2007). On astrology and weather prediction in the nineteenth century, see Katharine Anderson, Predicting the Weather: Victorians and the Science of Meteorology (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2005).
