Lies, demand lies, and science
Len Polluck reviews this look into the relationship between science and public policy
Lies, damned lies, and science
Sherry Seethaler
London: FT Press Science 2009 | Pp224 | £17.99 | ISBN978 0 13 715522 0
Neither a textbook nor a novel, Seethaler gives an engaging non-fictional read into the complex nature of science and public policy, both from financial and ethical perspectives.
The tome is timely and is replete with useful examples of current scientific controversies, such as GM crops, global warming, genetics and the energy crisis. As such this book will be suitable background reading for school science teachers, and GCE A-level and university students studying science, business, and the humanities.
