Science Under Siege: Balancing Technology and the Environment

In a book sure to stir controversy among liberals and conservatives alike, Fumento "proves conclusively that dioxin, video-display terminals, power lines, pesticides, and other products of modern technology are not the deadly threats to you and your family's health that you have heard, while some touted solutions to the real environmental problems such as the fuel gasohol, are grounded not in good science, but in cynical, dollar-driven politics."

"Michael Fumento's clear exposition of the way in which knowledge gained through good scientific research can be distorted and used to spread misconceptions and needless public fear should receive widespread attention."--Frederick Seits, past President, National Academy of Sciences
