"Viele Überzeugungen der alternativen Medizin und Esoterik stellen eine extreme Herausforderung der heutigen Wissenschaft dar. Wenn ihre zentralen Aussagen, insbesondere die der Homöopathie und der anthroposophischen Medizin, zutreffen, muß die heutige Physik in wichtigen Aspekten falsch oder doch zumindest grob unvollständig sein. Dies gilt um so mehr für streng esoterische Verfahren, wie z.B. die der Geistfernheilung oder des Pendelns. Martin Lambeck erläutert die wichtigsten Aspekte und Phänomene, aus denen sich das besondere Spannungsverhältnis von moderner Physik einerseits und alternativer Medizin und Esoterik andererseits speist, und beschreibt Möglichkeiten, wie der Streit vernünftig ausgetragen und entschieden werden könnte. Ein spannend-provokatives Buch über eine ebenso lange wie heftige Kontroverse, in der es keineswegs nur um wissenschaftliche Wahrheit, sondern auch um die Gültigkeit von Weltbildern geht."

Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele entlarvt der Philosoph Hubert Schleicher wienerisch charmant, witzig und bissig die rhetorischen und argumentativen Tricks von Politikern und Fundamentalisten jeder Couleur. Er zeigt, wie man die Schwachstellen ihrer Diskussionsweisen und Weltanschauungen nutzt und den Gegner aushebelt. Ein bestens verständlicher Grundkurs in Logik und Argumentation, ein wahres Lesevergnügen.

"How do we know if a treatment works, or if something causes cancer? Can the claims of homeopaths ever be as true – or as interesting as the improbable research into the placebo effect? Who created the MMR hoax? Do journalists understand science? Why do we seek scientific explanations for social, personal and political problems? Are alternative therapists and the pharmaceutical companies really so different, or do they just use the same old tricks to sell different types of pill? We are obsessed with our health. And yet – from the media’s ‘world-expert microbiologist’ with a mail-order PhD in his garden shed laboratory, via multiple health scares and miracle cures, to the million pound trial that Durham Council now denies ever existed – we are constantly bombarded with inaccurate, contradictory and sometimes even misleading information. Until now. Ben Goldacre masterfully dismantles the dodgy science behind some of the great drug trials, court cases and missed opportunities of our time, but he also goes further: out of the bulls---, he shows us the fascinating story of how we know what we know, and gives us the tools to uncover bad science for ourselves."
