Science
has never been more crucial to deciding the
political issues facing the country, yet it has
never gotten less respect in government. In
governmental agencies, scientific findings have been
reported in a politicized manner or even suppressed
entirely, while government scientists themselves
have come under attack or been prevented from
speaking openly.
Chris Mooney - the journalist who first
weaved together the story of the "war on science"
and explained its causes - chronicles the abuses and
looks ahead, describing how the lawmakers, media,
public, and even scientists themselves must restore
scientific integrity.
Mooney is the author of two books, including the
New York Times bestselling The Republican War
on Science and Storm World: Hurricanes,
Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming. He
also writes for numerous newspapers and magazines,
lectures at universities, and appears frequently on
radio and TV.
