Reading Liberally (Chicago) December 4, 2005

We've got a great book this time round: 'The Republican War on Science' by Chris Mooney. So crack that book open, then join in the discussion!

From Publishers Weekly: "Mooney uses interviews and old-fashioned document-digging to explain how, over two decades, right-wing politicians built institutions designed to discredit working scientists; how some energy companies have allied themselves with powerful Republicans ... to block or reverse U.S. steps to curb global warming; and how the present administration defies expert consensus on climate change, on mercury pollution, even on how to read statistics."
