Résumé
Science can be manipulated by the deliberately fraudulent, faked by the unprincipled, and misunderstood by the irrational and self-deluded. In Voodoo Science, Robert Park explores these many misuses and examines the political, social, and economic forces that elicit or support fake science and sustain it in the face of often overwhelming contrary evidence. Park argues that if we understood that our orderly universe is governed by natural laws that cannot be circumvented by magic or miracles, we would recognize voodoo science, and understand the forces that keep it alive.
