Description
"Evolution. Stem cells. Climate change. Missile defense. On these and other issues, the administration of former president George W. Bush was often criticized for ignoring, redacting, or outright distorting scientific consensus in order to justify policy decisions. But Bush's presidency was by no means the only time in recent American history where science and politics collided. Toxic Mix?: A Handbook of Science and Politics takes a topic very much in the center of public debate in the last decade and places it in a revealing historical context." "Toxic Mix? ranges across the all major areas of scientific inquiry with public policy implications - including atomic energy, space science, public health, stem cells, sexual reproduction, environmental science, global warming, and evolution - to examine important events where political imperatives and scientific research were at odds." --Book Jacket.
