Description
Science Left Behind: Exposing the Fallacies of the Anti-Scientific Left By Alex B. Berezow and Hank Campbell PublicAffairs, 2014 The left's aversion to science is often misunderstood as a conservative phenomenon. However, progressives also have their own set of fallacious thinking, which can lead to misguided policies and public health crises. This book reveals the underlying causes of these misconceptions, including the tendency to view natural things as inherently wholesome and unnatural things as unhealthy. The authors argue that these seductive fallacies have contributed to an epidemic of misinformation, damaging public health and policy decisions. By examining the left's fear of science, Science Left Behind sheds light on a new culture war over basic scientific facts, where both sides are culpable. This book provides a timely and thought-provoking analysis of the role of science in politics and society, essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of modern debates.
