It Ain't Necessarily So

How Media Make and Unmake the Scientific Picture of Reality

Beschreibung

Three experts on research, science, and the media provide an antidote to the statistical overload that has had our heads spinning for years. This revealing book sets the record straight, separating fact from fiction, on such topics as cell phones, missing children, breast implants, AIDS, cancer, radiation, violent crime rates, illegitimate birthrates, and day care crises.
