SORRY WRONG NUMBER - THE ABUSE OF MEASUREMENT. (1 - per pack) The world is driven by numbers and many of them are misleading or just plain wrong in this book John Brignell (Professor of Industrial Instrumentation at the University of Southampton for 20 years) examines some of the tricks and deceit practised by politicians , bureaucrats, quasi-scientists (junk,pseudo or just bad) and sifs (single issue fanatics) who manipulate numbers to persuade us to do what they want , (aided and abetted, of course, by the media). Using examples from diet, health, drinking and smoking, education and the environment to illustrate his points John Brignell also passes judgement on "the nanny state", rural policing , health fascism, EU bureaucrats, lawyers, the dumbing down of Radio 4 and the parlous condition of Britain's universities. And whether you agree with the author on all these topics or not the book is always entertaining and easy to read.

The Epidemiologists- Have they got scares for you (1 - per pack) "In this new book John Brignell, the acclaimed author of "Sorry Wrong Number!", looks at the history and practice of epidemiology and the validity or otherwise of the numerous claims made by its practitioners. Can we take seriously any of the regular media claims that, for example "Coffee causes cancer" or conversely "Coffee protects against cancer" ? With chapters on "Cause and Effect", and "Fallacies" as well as looking at Cancer, Tobacco and Electromagnetic Radiation this book takes a sceptical view of the relationship between the epidemiologists, the media and politics and their influence on our health and well being.
