It gets "under the skin" of the subject and provides a broad context.

Foster, Peter W. Huber The MIT Press, 1999 Highlights the problems of much "scientific evidence" Although non-lawyers can appreciate this book, it is really of use to lawyers in mass tort cases where scientific evidence is used to prove causality issues. Foster and Huber use the litigation over the pregnancy drug Bendectin to explain the ways in which science is used and misused to "prove" cases. In the case of Bendectin, there was no conclusive medical evidence proving that the drug ...             Evaluating Beer1 review Brewers Publications Brewers Publications, 1993 Weak I originally bought this book to give myself a crash course in how to evaluate my own homebrew beer.
