Nonscience Returns by Brian J Ford
Fiftieth-anniversary updates revisit a 1971 sensation that predicted a world dominated by Experts. Media spectacle replaces deep inquiry as elusive language and opportunistic maneuvers supplant genuine integrity and objectivity, unmasking power's relentless quest for control.
Brian J. Ford has frittered away his life creating a new multidisciplinary approach to science. He is the person who first introduced laws governing the safe handling of viruses and bacteria, and went on to demonstrate intelligence in microbes. He edits encyclopaedias, was science editor for Guinness World Records (and wrote their New Quiz Book); presented his own BBC shows Science Now and Where Are You Taking Us?, hosted Food for Thought on Channel Four, and even had his own television game-show. Professor Ford has appeared on Today and Any Questions? He appeared on the satirical programme Week In, Week Out, has done stand-up comedy, written for New Scientist and Scientific American, and writes a controversial column in The Microscope journal (search for ford CF01.htm). Brian J. Ford has connections with many universities and the popular An Evening With Brian at the Inter/Micro conference in Chicago has run for over 30 years. His books have been published around the world. Curtis Press approached him about a new book, but all hed agree to was a reprint of one hed written earlier. Typical.
