Cheap Galileo's Revenge: Junk Science In The Courtroom

Over All Rating Reviews :

This book is a notorious piece of total junk: junk logic, junk scholarship, junk law. Huber popularized the inspired neologism "junk science" to denigrate views and outcomes he didn't like. Since publication this book has been praised by those who don't want any interference with corporate behavior, no matter how reprehensible, and vilified by those on the other side. In the middle are a broad range of scholars who have pointed out the sloppy scholarship, nonexistent historiography, and misleading choice of examples. Real junk. Get it from the library. Huber is already rich enough charging huge lecture fees from his corporate clack. An excellent and balanced book on this subject is Sheila Jasanoff's, Science at the Bar.
