我读过 Gary Taubes 的好几本书，包括他提到的《Good Calories, Bad Calories》（Good Calories, Bad Calories）和他较早的书（大部头，可能更好）《Bad Science》（Bad Science），讲冷聚变那场闹剧。他有时可能会对自己的主题过于热情，但这些书都既引人入胜又有详实的文献记录。
I have read several of Gary Taubes books, including Good Calories, Bad Calories that he mentioned and his earlier book (massive tome, might be better) Bad Science on the cold fusion debacle. He might tend to get a little carried away with enthusiasm for his subject at times, but they have all been both fascinating reading and well documented.
Gary Taubes 的《Bad Science: The Short Life and Weird Times of Cold Fusion》相当不错。
Gary Taubes's Bad Science: The Short Life and Weird Times of Cold Fusion is pretty good.

…are the children of a researcher who lost weight when he changed his diet, an Enron billionaire, and Gary Taubes, a science journalist with a history of being very, very partisan. (No, really, go read Bad Science and then track down Polywater by Felix Franks---different scientific episodes, but with roughly similar hoo-ha involved; I'm talking about the style of the two discussions.
