The Science Behind the Headlines
Learn the science behind the headlines?the tools of
terrorists, the dangers of nuclear power, and the reality of global
warming.
We live in complicated, dangerous times. They are also
hyper-technical times. As citizens who will elect future presidents
of the most powerful and influential country in the world, we need
to know?truly understand, not just rely on television?s
talking heads?if Iran?s nascent nuclear capability is a
genuine threat to the West, if biochemical weapons are likely to be
developed by terrorists, if there are viable alternatives to fossil
fuels that should be nurtured and supported by the government, if
nuclear power should be encouraged, and if global warming is
actually happening. This book is written in everyday, nontechnical
language on the science behind the concerns that our nation faces
in the immediate future. Even active readers of serious journalism
will be surprised by the lessons that the book contains. It is
?must-have? information for all presidents?and
citizens?of the twenty-first century.
