As the role of science and technology in everyday life grows more pervasive and more complex, it becomes more difficult for a scientifically "illiterate" public to make informed judgments. Zimmerman takes on a range of falsifiers, disinformation specialists, and charlatans to provide the background needed to evaluate environmental and other issues that are in the news and affecting our lives. His topics include scientific illiteracy from "creation science" to graphology; the role of government in the scientific process; claims about pesticides and additives in food; global environmental problems; and the myth of the technological fix.
