Bad Science
English, Ben Goldacre, 2009Free shipping starting at 50.–
Ben Goldacre's wise and witty bestseller, shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize, lifts the lid on quack doctors, flaky statistics, scaremongering journalists, and evil pharmaceutical corporations.
Since 2003, Dr. Ben Goldacre has been exposing dodgy medical data in his popular Guardian column. In this eye-opening book, he takes on the MMR hoax and misleading cosmetics ads, acupuncture and homeopathy, vitamins, and mankind's vexed relationship with all manner of toxins. Along the way, the self-confessed 'Johnny Ball cum Witchfinder General' performs a successful detox on a Barbie doll, sees his dead cat become a certified nutritionist, and probes the supposed medical qualifications of 'Dr.' Gillian McKeith.
Full of spleen and satire, Ben Goldacre takes us on a hilarious, invigorating, and ultimately alarming journey through the bad science we are fed daily by hacks and quacks.
