Auto Engines Technology Book

This book gives a great overview of how research and reality can collide - and often come up with different answers to the same question. Highlighted is the story of breast implants in the 1990's and their rise and fall from grace. The author details how the legal system clashed with the scientific research on whether or not breast implants cause physical harm, and the end result was that they were banned by the FDA despite very little research to support this claim. Although bans on implants are now in the process of being lifted due to the lack of evidence that they cause harm, this book is a great reminder of how important it is for researchers to reach out to the public and to do a better job of explaining the scientific process.
