Second, the writing is so bad that I was actually ANGERED. This book just arrived and was very cheaply printed. However, the book is still very useful. When one pays for a book, one expects to receive something a little special.

On a broad array of issues-stem cell research, climate change, evolution, sex education, product safety, environmental regulation, and many others-the Bush administration’s positions fly in the face of overwhelming scientific consensus. Federal science agencies-once fiercely independent under both Republican and Democratic presidents-are increasingly staffed by political appointees who know industry lobbyists and evangelical activists far better than they know the science.
