Format:Paperback
This book is a good example of the way someone with an agenda twists, distorts and misrepresents (sometime hilariously, if you know anything about statistics) to push their quack-brained theories, deliberately trying to scare people. It contains little that is credible and much that is complete nonsense. Not recommended for anyone who wants real science and information.

This book is full of naive and inaccurate junk science. The author demonstrates how correlations can be used to mislead. He confuses correlation with causality. This is an example of how not to apply statistical methods in epidemiology. I note that the author has no formal training in either science.

Format:Paperback
Busby's book is excellent when you want to know the backgrounds and possible weaknesses of nuclear risk assessments that govern what pollution the nuclear industry can legally release to the environment today - and the book is stringent in its logic when looking at the possible faults of the reasoning behind labelling some levels of pollution "safe". It is a very thought-provoking book and most of it is written with a sense of urgency that makes you want to read it. The only bits I fell off were the statistics and formulas-bits that are not terribly readable to non-mathematicians. Everything else is. Recommended!
