Guardian columnist Dr Ben Goldacre takes us on a hilarious, invigorating and informative journey through the bad science we're fed by the worst of the hacks and the quacks! When Dr Ben Goldacre saw someone on daytime TV dipping her feet in an 'Aqua Detox' footbath, releasing her toxins into the water and turning it brown, he thought he'd try the same at home. 'Like some kind of Johnny Ball cum Witchfinder General', using his girlfriend's Barbie doll, he gently passed an electrical current through the warm salt water. It turned brown. In his words: 'before my very eyes, the world's first Detox Barbie was sat, with her feet in a pool of brown sludge, purged of a weekend's immorality.' Dr Ben Goldacre is the author of the 'Bad Science' column in the Guardian and his book is about all the 'bad science' we are constantly bombarded with in the media and in advertising. At a time when science is used to prove everything and nothing, everyone has their own 'bad science' moments -- from the useless pie-chart on the back of cereal packets to the use of the word 'visibly' in cosmetics ads.This book will help people to quantify their instincts -- that a lot of the so-called 'science' which appears in the media and in advertising is just wrong or misleading. Satirical and amusing -- and unafraid to expose the ridiculous -- it provides the reader with the facts they need to differentiate the good from the bad. Full of spleen, this is a hilarious, invigorating and informative journey through the world of 'bad science'.

評分今天的主題就是這本號稱“春節防腦術”的《Bad Science》,中文名翻譯為《小心壞科學:醫藥廣告沒有告訴你的事》。作者是英國的Ben Goldacre,1974年齣生,牛津大學畢業,UCL醫學院畢業拿到執業醫師資格證,目前是牛津大學循證醫學中心的高級研究員。聽說好像還挺平易近人的。 ...

評分對付中醫挺閤適,比較初級的科普書。
評分被騙的人們。 其實是一本很有啓發的MARKETING用書。 用科學騙人的人與不懂科學被騙的人。
評分西醫循證醫學(Evidence-based Medicine)的忠實信徒,素養精良,逐一揭露各種僞科學和江湖騙術,專治各種“養生秘訣”和怕死雞湯,大叔大媽一人來一劑吧。不過要真的是心病,那還必須得心藥醫。
評分看數據&閤理懷疑都是大學問!????
