By Robert L. Park

Voodoo Science is a fascinating and disturbing look at the dark side of science. Author Robert L. Park explores the world of pseudoscience and shows how it can be used to deceive and harm people.

Park defines voodoo science as "any claim that is presented as scientific but lacks empirical evidence or support." He argues that voodoo science is not simply a harmless form of entertainment, but can have real-world consequences, such as leading people to make poor health decisions or support dangerous policies.

Park provides numerous examples of voodoo science, including claims that:

• Vaccines cause autism
• Climate change is a hoax
• Homeopathy is effective medicine
• Psychics can predict the future

Park shows how these claims are often based on faulty reasoning, cherry-picked data, or outright fraud. He also explains how voodoo science can be used to promote dangerous products or ideologies.

Voodoo Science is a timely and important book. It provides a much-needed antidote to the growing tide of misinformation and disinformation that is circulating in our society. Park's clear and concise writing makes this book accessible to a wide audience, and his insights will be valuable to anyone who wants to understand the dangers of voodoo science.
