Bad Science
by Ben Goldacre
I really liked this book. He talks about something that I believed for a long time, but felt alone. Our science journalism sucks. They have no clue what they are talking about, and they don't really care. It is more important to make a nice sounding headline, than to really inform people.
So, all of us that really like science, but no longer work directly with it, feel like orphans, with few good places to search for reliable information. I loved this quote:
"meanwhile the nerds, the people who studied biochemistry but who now work in middle management at Woolworths, are neglected, unstimulated, abandoned".
Swap for biology and another UK company, and that's me :)
Not a 5, because it's so UK specific sometimes, with lot's of references to people that I've never heard about.
