Bad Science by Ben Goldacre
5.0
It took me six years to get around to reading this book, but it was very worth the wait. Bad Science is a fantastic book that really clearly and concisely explains the issues with modern day science and its relationship with the wider public. While long, it covers with clear examples some of the sketchier things in medicine.
Even for someone with a degree in one of the sciences, it was at a level which kept me engaged and I never felt bored by the level at which it was written.
While things have moved on a little since 2008, the book is still relevant to the wider world today. I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wants to be able to assess information, mostly medical information on trials and "miracle cures", more thoroughly.
