Description

Ben Goldacre's Bad Science is a scathing critique of the science that appears in the media and advertising. The author's own experience with a dubious detox product sparked his investigation into the world of bad science, where facts are often distorted or manipulated for effect.

From the misleading claims on cereal packets to the use of dubious language in cosmetics ads, Goldacre exposes the ridiculous and the misleading, providing the reader with the facts they need to make informed decisions. With a healthy dose of satire and humour, this book will help you to separate the good from the bad.

With its engaging and accessible style, Bad Science is a worthwhile read for anyone who wants to understand the science behind the headlines.
