<p>‘This book brings science into question, confronting
objectivity with humanism and offering a set of enlightening case studies of
practice, belief and contestation in various fields of science. The book makes
it very, very clear that we cannot take science for granted. Before you read
another headline about another scientific “breakthrough”, you should read this
book.’            <b><br />Stephen J. Ball</b>,<b> </b>Emeritus Professor of
Sociology of Education, University College London, IOE; co-author of <i>Against
School</i>, and of <i>Thinking Education Differently </i>and <i>Global
Education Inc.</i></p><p>‘This important and timely book challenges the worst aspects
of medical science dogma, while providing hope for the paradigm shift needed
for improved health and well-being.’<br /><b>Norman Fenton</b>, Professor Emeritus of Risk, Queen Mary
University of London</p><p>‘Endorses “a bottom-up democratisation of science”.
Hopefully, readers of this book will be inspired to be part of this paradigm

paediatrician, co-chair <i>HARTgroup.org</i></p><p>‘In these conversations Richard House makes a hugely
significant contribution to the evolutionary paradigm change which could yet
save the world. Soul and spirit are firmly back on the agenda.’<br /><b><i>Brian Thorne</i></b><i>, Emeritus Professor,

enthralling book. I commend it as a major contribution to the open
“meta-conversation” that modern culture desperately needs to have, if a truly
human future informed by a reliable, ethical, uncaptured science is to unfold….
<i>There is a better way!</i>’<br /><b>Dr Tess Lawrie </b>(MBBCh, Ph.D.), co-founder of the

book.’<br /><b>Professor Leemon B. McHenry</b>, California State University, Northridge,
co-author of <i>The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine</i></p><p>

</p><p>‘A thoughtful collection of conversations that together
reveal the dark side of “elite science” when wielded as dogma – acting to
enforce expert consensus in the status quo and censor heterodox scientific
views, while deceitfully presenting itself as receptive to new ideas and free
from any bias or prejudice.’<br /><b>Professor (Emeritus) Martin Neil</b>, Queen Mary
University of London, co-author of <i>Fighting Goliath: Exposing the flawed
science and statistics behind the COVID-19 event</i></p>‘<i>Humanising Science and Medicine</i> is pivotal in so many
ways, not least in reminding us of the importance of discussion and debate.
Richard House suggests a “bottom-up democratisation of science”, and this
overlaps with my own engagement in developing Truth University as an
institution (www.truthuniversity.co.uk).’<br /><b>Gloria Moss</b>, Professor of Management and Marketing,
founder of Truth University<p>‘A book that everyone should read, regardless of their level
or field of education... but especially academics, intellectuals, and
researchers. The book is a valuable contribution to the “search for truth”… and
essential reading for every intellectual.’<br /><b><i>Dr Mateja Černič</i></b><i>,<b> </b>author of the
scientific monograph Ideological Constructs of Vaccination</i></p><p>‘ I welcome this book for illuminating and welcoming in a
more wholistic, humanistic paradigm for positive change. German New Medicine
and many quantum approaches to health are identifying the emotional and
spiritual causations of physical dis-at-ease. The authors know and address this
area excellently. This book is a must for those who wish to awake to the
meta-reality of what it entails to be healthy and human.’<br /><b>Professor Paul Barber</b>, Ph.D., M.Sc., BA</p><p>‘An intriguing and thought-provoking book, designed to
invite the reader to entertain a variety of humanistic perspectives related to
science and medicine. There is a variety of “eminent humanizing voices” in the
book, each person providing their unique perspectives on the subject as they
engaged in fascinating conversations. You may find yourself entertaining many
questions about science and medicine that you may have previously taken for
granted, or that you may not have even thought about previously. For those
reasons alone, the book may provide profound insights to the reader, and it may
even challenge the reader to re-think how they view science and medicine.’<br /><b><i>Dr Carroy (Cuf) Ferguson</i></b><i>, Ph.D., President,
US Association for Humanistic Psychology</i></p>

Twelve in-depth interviews with philosophers, psychologists, medical doctors and independent researchers interrogate the phenomenon of science per se, and modern medical bioscience in particular – including why today’s medical science is fundamentally flawed from multiple viewpoints. Taken together, these deep conversations examine what’s wrong with modern science, and how it urgently needs to change. Interviewees include Professors Barrie Condon, Brian Martin and David Morris, Drs Katherine Buchanan, Martin Cohen, Thomas Hardtmuth and Ian James Kidd, and psychologists Dr Bruce Scott and Sami Timimi.

Humanising Science and Medicine is essential reading for all open-minded scientists and medical practitioners – and for all people concerned about the directions modern science and medicine are taking. How can we create a genuinely humanistic system for supporting human health that is grounded in true, uncaptured science, bringing a holistic perspective to well-being in our narrowly technocratic times? Read this book to find out.
