O knihe
The nature of scientific activity has changed dramatically over the last half century and, unfortunately, is abandoning the objectivity and rigorous search for evidence that once defined it. Increasingly, dogma has taken the place of authentic science. This text examines how conflicts of interest--both institutional and individual--have become pervasive in the science world, and also explores the troubling state of research funding and the nature of the peer-review process. Other topics explored include the Big Bang cosmology, human-caused global warming, HIV as a cause of AIDS, and the efficacy of anti-depressant drugs. In a scientific environment where distinguished experts who hold contrary views are shunned, this book is a welcome addition to the examination of scientific heterodoxies.)
