VERY GOOD: The book's spine and covers are in very good condition, showing only the smallest signs of use and wear. The pages have no writing, but one page was dog-eared.
Product Details
This book is a main selection of the Conservative Book Club and is part of thePolitically Incorrect Guide™ series of books that reveal the hidden agendas of influential groups, such as the government, science labs, the press, and teachers and professors.
From the back cover: "In this masterly book, venerable science writer Tom Bethell names and nabs all the subsidized fear-mongers and their gullible press. Whether debunking human-caused global warming, or discrediting the species extinction panic, or bringing down the touts of spurious cancer causes, Bethell has upended every bogus claim and taken the number and the measure of the groups that uphold it. Fun to read and edifying for expert and citizen alike, Bethell's book should turn the tide against the charlatans." — George Gilder, senior fellow at The Discovery Institute, author of Microcosm and Telecosm, and editor of the Gilder Technology Report
