Trust Us, We'Re Experts! How Industry Manipulates Science and Gambles with Your Future

by Sheldon Rampton & John Stauber - £12.99  Tarcher / Putnam (2002)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781585421398 | ISBN 10: 1585421391

The book that unmasks the sneaky and widespread methods industry uses to influence opinion through bogus experts, doctored data and manufactured facts.

"A brilliant piece of investigative journalism and a powerful vaccine against the stupefying effects of the corporate PR machine - spread it around!"
(Barbara Ehrenreich)
"Media critics John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton would like American consumers to become better spin detectors. Behind much of what we read in newspapers or hear on TV, they say, are not cold, hard facts, but public relations specialists who are masters at 'spin control', directing what information is presented, by whom, and in what context."
(USA Today)
