Bad Science by Ben Goldacre

3.0

This was a very interesting look at the lies, tricks, and deception that are used by both the "alternate" healing methods, and the pharmaceutical producers. The book was designed to teach the reader how to recognize "good science" and distinguish it from "bad science," so that informed decisions can be made that are based on a careful analysis of quality of the research being done. This book was eye opening and informative. Dr. Goldacre writes with a sense of humor that made the book fun, but he also has extreme arrogance that can be annoying in some places.
