Author Description

"The Report on Smoking and Health published by the Royal College of Physicians in England in 1965 warned of a connection between lung cancer and smoking. The findings were widely publicized, and were accepted by practically everyone - indeed, they persist today. As Hans J. Eyseneck shows in his study Smoking, Health, and Personality, the results were by no means immune to challenge. Not only were the experimental and statistical methods employed vulnerable to criticism, but the results were open to more than one interpretation."--Jacket.
