Are there any good books that provide a broad overview of different epistemological systems? Perhaps something that also addresses philosophy of science?

I'm wondering because I am uncomfortable with purely positivist approaches to knowledge that assume we have unmediated access to truth.

On the other hand, constructivist and postmodern epistemologies seem completely unsuited to rational inquiry and argumentation in the real world. For instance, I really don't feel like adopting a construvtivist view of knowledge if I'm debating with an anti-vaxxer, or someone who doesn't believe in evolution. I really want to be able to point to (capital T) Truth, in those instances.

An Introduction to Epistemology by Jack Crumley is what we used in the undergrad course I took. It's a good book, but it only covers analytic epistemology.
