Whilst I haven't read the book, I'm a long time admirer of Goldacre's Guardian column and his excellent website. He writes very well and on a subject that is of real importance.
Unfortunately, one chapter was missing from the original hardback edition of
Bad Science, namely the chapter on Matthius Rath, a kooky nutritionist who claims that vitamins can cure AIDS, a claim of such staggering irresponsibility that it boggles the mind. Rath dropped his suit last year and the chapter, entitled
The Doctor Will Sue You Now, has been restored in the new paperback edition. Just to make sure that hardback readers don't miss out though, (and no doubt to annoy Rath) Goldacre has put the entire chapter up on his site. It can be read in full here;
Matthias Rath – steal this chapter – Bad Science
There are also links to a PDF and a Word file. The whole chapter is under a creative commons licence, so feel free to distribute it however you like.
