Description: From the back cover: “We like to imagine that the development of new medicines is a scientific and impartial endeavor. In reality, pharmaceutical companies often produce useless or even harmful drugs, tested in flawed trials and approved and prescribed by regulators and doctors who have been deliberately misinformed.” BEN GOLDACRE is a doctor and award-winning science writer who has written the Bad Science column in the "Guardian" since 2003. His work focuses on unpicking the evidence behind misleading claims from journalists, the pharmaceutical industry, alternative therapists, and government reports. He has made a number of documentaries for BBC Radio 4, and his book "Bad Science" has been translated into twenty languages. He lives in London, England.”
