In seven compelling chapters addressing tobacco, acid rain, >the ozone hole, global warming, and DDT, Oreskes and Conway roll back the rug >on this dark corner of the American scientific community, showing how the >ideology of free market fundamentalism, aided by a too-compliant media, has >skewed public understanding of some of the most pressing issues of our era.” RSVP for this presentation <http://action.ucsusa.org/site/R?i=cvfT3hS0tuj2xJJd2Hn9CA..> today.
