This is an intelligent, insightful, and entertaining exploration of the serious issue of how modern science is being misrepresented and distorted. Is global warming just scaremongering by climatologists conspiring to protect their jobs? Is evolution 'just a theory?'. The answer to these questions is, of course, no. The scientific evidence is now in, and it's conclusive, on these and many other issues fundamental to our knowledge and well-being. But you'd never know this if you believed everything you read or heard in the popular media. "Denying Science" surveys the gamut of clearly unscientific ideas concerning the food we eat, the medicines and potions we are either afraid of or advised to take, our sex preferences, and a host of other issues that are raised by various panics, urban legends, and a general climate of misinformation.
