Leaving the Land of Woo has been reviewed by F C (Chip) Etier on Blogcritics.org

"Lloyd presents in clear, precise, easy-to-read and understand form, a primer on the scientific method. He covers the components and steps and how experimentation leads to repeatable results and conclusions. It is important to know and understand how real science differs from scientific marketing and does not have room for "consensus." There is no need for a majority vote of experimenters to confirm that water boils at 100 degrees Celsius."

"We learn from our mistakes, and I suspect that if more people had read this book, they would have made fewer mistakes and learned fewer lessons the hard way. Read it now and save yourself the heartache and bruises. Even if you never entirely leave the land of woo, you will be far better off."
