Uncover the hidden side of science where fraud, ideology, and politics corrupt the pursuit of truth.
Corrupted Science is a searing expose of the misuses and misrepresentations of science from the time of Galileo continuing through to the present day. This revised and expanded edition includes updates on the asbestos industry, the chemicals industry, the sugar industry, the agriculture industry (the abuse of antibiotics), and the automobile industry (lead in gasoline). The final chapter has been expanded to include the full-blooded assault on science mounted by the Trump administration.
This book is for general readers interested in science, history, and the intersection of science with politics and ideology. It offers a critical look at the forces that can undermine scientific integrity and provides tools for recognizing and resisting these influences.
