The very best journalism from one of Britain's most admired and outspoken science writers, author of the bestselling Bad Science and Bad Pharma.

In 'Bad Science', Ben Goldacre hilariously exposed the tricks that quacks and journalists use to distort science.

In 'Bad Pharma', he put the $600 billion global pharmaceutical industry under the microscope.

Now the pick of the journalism by one of our wittiiest, most indignant and most fearless commentators on the worlds of medicine and science is collected in one volume.

First published: Feb 14, 2014
Publishers: Fourth Estate Ltd
Language: English

What a tome - I finished it after two long distance airplane flights. It is a real good primer on learning to look at the evidence behind the evidence and avoiding BS - Bad Science, and silly dim uninformed reporters.

An eye-opener that everyone should read. Be warned, you may never believe anything at face value again!.

The very best journalism from one of Britain's most admired and outspoken science writers, author of the bestselling Bad Science and Bad Pharma. Have I heard of Ben Goldacre?
