The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science – amazon.com

Science is neutral, right?

Of course its reliable, based on fact, unprejudiced, and trustworthy, isnt it? Well, guess again. A lot of what passes for science these days is pseudo-science, and a lot of scientific fact is hidden from public view because its not politically correct.

Science has been politicizednot by the Right, but by the Left, which sees global warming, Darwinism, stem cell research, and innumerable other issues as tools to advance its agenda (and in many cases expand the reach of government).

When liberals trot out scientists with white coats, debate is supposed to be silenced. But many of the high priests of science have something to hidefrom blind intolerance of religion to jealous guarding of their federally financed research budgets.

Luckily, science journalist Tom Bethell is here with the necessary and bracing antidote: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science.

Heres a handy one-volume guide to some of the most contentious issues of our day, including:

Why fears of nuclear power arent science, but unscientific scaremongering Why species are increasing, not disappearing Why global warming (and other temperature changes) are not caused by humans (remember the Ice Age?) Why embryonic stem cell research is snake oil medicine (which is why it needs government subsidies) Why Darwinism is crumbling Why the story line of the brave scientist Galileo versus an ignorant Church is wrong And much, much more

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science busts myths, reveals hidden agendas, and lets you in on some of the little-known secrets about whats really going on in science. If youre tired of being hoodwinked by liberals who use science to justify all sorts of misbehavior, you need The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science.
