Listopia > Fake Science - Marketing Scientists

Science books and/or authors that I suggest people to avoid when interested in exploring and taking advantage of genuine scientific perspectives, because of them being widely popularized by media along contemporary political and ideological goals rather than by the real original value of the scientific contributions of the respective work/scientist.

For real scientific perspectives from landmark contributors to modern science, please refer to my "Real Science" shelf.
