Off-topic, but a book or article though could be something totally different than "modern science".
Even if it mentions dozens of studies.
You can find a book on every position in science. In some you can find tens, or thousands supporting a position. And they all references studies and statistics, and such.
But they can still not reflect any real consensus in "modern science".
Either because they cherry pick from a side far away from the consensus (e.g. there are hundreds of such books from climate change denier scientists, but the consensus is elsewhere).
Or because the consensus itself is broken to 2 or more equally strong directions.
I now tend to only consider "settled" science (and that's mostly "settled for now") what has been studied and distilled so long, it's in 101 university books and such.
