Bad Science is about just that. Specifically, it covers not only the baseless claims of the new age medicine, but the shifty practices of the drug industry and the overblown claims of the news media. He also gives explanations about how real medical science works and the reasons it gets shouted out by popular culture.
While I found Bad Science very informative, at times I found it a bit of a slog as it seems to be written for people with a bit more science education than I have. I think if Mr. Goldacre wrote for a slightly larger audience he would have gotten more listeners for his message.
