Description
Praise for the "Republican War on Science" "Nothing short of a landmark in contemporary political reporting." --Salon.com "Mooney has bravely tackled a gigantic and complex topic." --"The Washington Post" ""The Republican War on Science" does score some major hits when it takes on ideological campaigns against embryonic stem cell research and for intelligent design." --"The New York Sun" "Mooney's very readable, and understandably partisan, volume is the first to put the whole story, thoroughly documented, in one place." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) "Addresses a vitally important topic and gets it basically right." --"The New York Times" "Chris Mooney [is] one of the few journalists in the country who specialize in the now dangerous intersection of science and politics. His book is a well-researched, closely argued, and amply referenced indictment of the right wing's assault on science and scientists. In almost every instance, Republican leaders have branded the scientific mainstream as purveyors of 'junk science' and dubbed an extremist viewpoint--always at the end of the spectrum favoring big business or the religious Right--'sound science.' Rightists argue that the consensus itself is flawed. Then they encourage a debate between the consensus and the extremist naysayers, giving the two apparently equal weight. Thus, Mooney argues, it seems reasonable to split the difference or simply to argue that there is too much uncertainty to, say, ban a suspect chemical or fund a controversial form of research." --"Scientific American" "A careful reading of this well-researched and richly referenced work should remove any doubt that, at the highest levels of government, ideology is being advanced in the name of science, at great disservice to the American people." --Neal Lane, former Director, National Science Foundation
