Ben Goldacre writes science and medical criticism about how evidence can be distorted by poor research, selective reporting and commercial incentives. Bad Science examines misleading health claims, nutrition stories, alternative medicine and the ways newspapers and marketers misuse statistics. Bad Pharma turns specifically to the pharmaceutical industry and medical research, explaining problems such as unpublished negative trials, selective outcome reporting and the difficulty doctors face when the evidence base is incomplete. I Think You’ll Find It’s a Bit More Complicated Than That collects shorter journalism across science, policy and evidence. Goldacre’s prose is brisk, sceptical and often funny, but the books depend on methodological detail rather than simple debunking. Goldacre writes across evidence-based medicine, science communication and statistics for general readers. Bad Science is the easier introduction; Bad Pharma is more focused and detailed about clinical trials and drug regulation. Read more Less
