Bad Science

Ben Goldacre

Bad Science examines how plausible stories, credentials, commercial incentives, weak trials, statistical errors, and sensational reporting turn uncertainty into medical certainty. It asks how to tell whether a treatment works, what placebos mean, and what is lost when evidence is distorted.
