Bad Science by Ben Goldacre
4.0
It’s a good book, but the constant dismissing and smearing of humanities graduates (I.e the media is full of humanities graduates who are stupid and don’t get science and that’s why the media is terrible at reporting science) was a bit frustrating. I get the point, and I get it’s a simplified version of the truth, but still. Could have been worded a bit better and not made into a humanities/science dichotomy where all doctors are right (which the book shows is clearly not true) vs all humanity graduates being stupid (not true either).
Nevertheless, this is a really good book, especially if you don’t have a background in this sort of thing. It’s clearly written, easy to understand and very interesting and engaging. But also depressing.
