…you read this year, or saw or heard or found or bought this year? Hows about sharing while there’s still time to ask Santa or run out to get a pressy for someone.
The book I read this year that left the biggest impression on me was not a life changing novel but a book about science, or more exactly about scientific rigour and the way ‘facts’ are presented. It’s called “Bad Science” by Ben Goldacre. The writing is very accessible and I reckon it’s a ‘must read’ for anyone working in the Media or anyone concerned about how information gets distorted in the pursuit of profit or a ‘good’ story. Only £3.57 from a well-known online book seller. Also visit: http://www.badscience.net/
I’ve been looking at time-lapse photography with the 1st yr photographers and Ross found this brilliant example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCoqsVDVWN8
