Two of the worlds most respected scientists reveal the forces behind the dangerous anti-science movement and show us how to fight back.



From pandemics to the climate crisis, humanity faces tougher challenges than ever. Whether its the health of our people or the health of our planet, we know we are on an unsustainable path. But our efforts to effectively tackle these existential crises are now hampered by a common threat: politically and ideologically motivated opposition to science.



Michael Mann and Peter Hotez are two of the most respected and well-known scientists in the world and have spent the last twenty years on the front lines of the battle to convey accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information about science in the face of determined and nihilistic opposition.



In this powerful manifesto, they reveal the five main forces threatening science: plutocrats, pros, petrostates, phonies, and the press. It is a call to arms and a road map for dismantling the forces of anti-science. Armed with the information in this book, we can be empowered to promote scientific truths, shine light on channels of dark money, dismantle the corporations poisoning the planet, and ultimately avert disaster.

Arvustused

Once upon a time, scientists could assume that people would take their hard work, believe it, and put it to use. No longer as Michael Mann and Peter Hotez make painfully clear, a concentrated assault by special interests has made the work of science painful and perilous. Science Under Siege is a well-researched guide and offers some powerful ideas about how to fight back. -- Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun Science is indeed under siege, and thats not good for any of us. Here, Peter Hotez and Michael Mann name names. They describe the role of Russia; the Supreme Court Justices, whove lost sight of the forest for the disappearing trees; and the like-minded officials who promote nutty conspiracy theories. Its not too late to do something; its time to get things done. Read on. -- Bill Nye, science educator In standing up for evidence and truth, Drs Mann and Hotez exemplify the citizen scientists who have been integral to making our country healthier, more sustainable, and yes great. Science Under Siege informs us of the peril of not combatting attacks on science and scientists, and urges all of us who care about our shared future to join the fight. -- Chelsea Clinton, vice chair, Clinton Foundation and Clinton Health Access Initiative
