Dan Agin, Ph.D., argues that we will pay a heavy price for the follies of groups that consciously warp the public's understanding of science to maintain riches and power. In an entertaining but frank tone, Agin exposes the data faking, reality ignoring, fear-mongering, and outright lying that contribute to intentionally manufactured public ignorance while telling us what we really need to know in sections including: Buyer Beware (genetically modified foods, aging, and tobacco companies); Medical Follies (chiropractics, health care, talk therapy).Poison and Bombs in the Greenhouse (pollution, warfare, global warming); and, Religion, Embryos, and Cloning, Genes, Behaviour, and Race.
