I found this book to be a good review and refresher of Collins' other books that's very accessible.
The answer was a little obvious. We're all experts but we're not all scientific experts. Collins seems to put the scientist on a moral pedestal, assuming that scientist have to be, and in most cases are, more moral than the layman; a claim I believe to not have enough evidence to support it.
That being said, one could probably write several books on that topic. Collins engages on a good discussion of both climategate and the MMR vaccine debates.
I give this book an 8 out of 10. This would be a good books to read to refresh yourself on Collins other works or gain a base knowledge of expertise.
