Voodoo Science: The Road from Foolishness to Fraud

Rating:
Summary: Great book! Loved it!
Review: This is a great book if you want a book that exposes the lies we have all been fed under the name of scientific discovery. Now I can see why many educated scientists and professionals initiate or support false fear campaigns (e.g. microwave ovens and electrical wiring) and inventions (e.g. perpetual motion machines) and medical balony (e.g. homeopathy; touch therapy) that clearly contradict established scientific laws. As the title says, some scientists take the road from "foolishness to fraud," while their journey costs us taxpayers millions or billions of dollars. Park helped me to see that we all better learn and promote the sciences in schools so that we and our kids can have half a chance of figuring out the difference between real scientific discoveries and popular "voodoo science." Btw, the reviewer who thought this book was actually about voodoo obviously didn't even read this book.
