Titles in Collection & Description
Discover the truth behind misleading health claims, dodgy scientific studies and sensational headlines with Bad Science by Ben Goldacre. This bestselling book challenges the misinformation that surrounds medicine, nutrition and popular science, helping readers understand how unreliable evidence and misleading statistics can influence what we believe.
With sharp wit and clear explanations, doctor and science writer Ben Goldacre examines the tricks used to make questionable claims appear convincing. From misleading food and supplement marketing to poorly designed research and exaggerated medical promises, he reveals how science can be misrepresented and why critical thinking matters. Combining humour with scientific insight, the book makes complex ideas accessible and encourages readers to question the evidence behind bold claims.
Ideal for readers interested in science, medicine, health and media literacy, Bad Science is an engaging introduction to spotting misinformation and understanding how reliable scientific evidence should work.
