Summary This title questions a basic assumption of the scientific method - that new theories or experimental results are communicated effectively by traditional methods (e.g., presentations at professional meetings or publication in a journal) - and suggests that the scientific method needs to be applied to the scientific method itself to find out if other styles of communication might work better. In an entertaining format, the book uses the fictional characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to unravel and explain the historical underpinnings of remote sensing.
