OverviewAn overdue indictment of government, industry, and faith groups that twist science for their own gain.During the next 30 years, the American public will suffer from a rampage against reason by special interests in government, commerce, and the faith industry, and the rampage has already begun. In Junk Science, Dan Agin offers a response - a stinging condemnation of the egregious and constant warping of science for ideological gain.In this provocative, wide-ranging, and hard-hitting book, Agin argues from the centre that we will pay a heavy price for the follies of people who consciously twist the public's understanding of the real world.
