But our efforts to effectively tackle these existential crises are now hampered by a common threat: politically and ideologically motivated opposition to science. Michael E. Mann and Peter J. Hotez have spent the last twenty years on the front lines of the battle to convey accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information about science in the face of determined and nihilistic opposition. They reveal the five main forces threatening science: plutocrats, pros, petrostates, phonies, and the press. Armed with the information in this book, we can be empowered to promote scientific truths, shine light on channels of dark money, dismantle the corporations poisoning the planet, and ultimately avert disaster"-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C2664915</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C2664915</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mann, Michael E.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2664915113</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces That Threaten Our World</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781541705494/MC.GIF&amp;client=mnetp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[I Told You So!]]></title><description><![CDATA["An energetic and impassioned work of popular science about scientists who have had to fight for their revolutionary ideas to be accepted-from Darwin to Pasteur to modern day Nobel Prize winners. For two decades, Matt Kaplan has covered science for the Economist. He's seen breakthroughs often occur in spite of, rather than because of, the behavior of the research community, and how support can be withheld for those who don't conform or have the right connections. In this passionately argued and entertaining book, Kaplan narrates the history of the 19th century Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis, who realized that Childbed fever-a devastating infection that only struck women who had recently given birth-was spread by doctors not washing their hands. Semmelweis was met with overwhelming hostility by those offended at the notion that doctors were at fault, and is a prime example of how the scientific community often fights new ideas, even when the facts are staring them in the face. In entertaining prose, Kaplan reveals scientific cases past and present to make his case. Some are familiar, like Galileo being threatened with torture and Nobel laureate Katalin Kariko being fired when on the brink of discovering how to wield mRNA-a finding that proved pivotal for the creation of the Covid-19 vaccine. Others less so, like researchers silenced for raising safety concerns about new drugs, and biologists ridiculed for revealing major flaws in the way rodent research is conducted. Kaplan shows how the scientific community can work faster and better by making reasonably small changes to the forces that shape it"-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C2679423</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C2679423</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kaplan, Matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2679423113</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Scientists Who Were Ridiculed, Exiled, and Imprisoned for Being Right</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250372277/MC.GIF&amp;client=mnetp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Pod and the Bog]]></title><description><![CDATA[An old friend visits Zoey with a glowing seed pod.

He created a radical proposal to place international controls over atomic materials, opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb and criticized the Air Force's plans to fight a nuclear war. In the hysteria of the early 1950s, his ideas were anathema to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup, and people such as Edward Teller and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover worked behind the scenes to obtain a finding that he could not be trusted with America's nuclear secrets. This book is both biography and history, significant to our understanding of our recent past--and of our choices for the future]]></description><link>https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C1571399</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C1571399</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bird, Kai]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1571399113</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Triumph and Tragedy of J.

To that end, Bill Bryson apprenticed himself to a host of the world's most profound scientific minds, living and dead. His challenge is to take subjects like geology, chemistry, paleontology, astronomy, and particle physics and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people, like himself, made bored (or scared) stiff of science by school. His interest is not simply to discover what we know but to find out how we know it. How do we know what is in the center of the earth, thousands of miles beneath the surface? How can we know the extent and the composition of the universe, or what a black hole is? How can we know where the continents were 600 million years ago? How did anyone ever figure these things out? On his travels through space and time, Bill Bryson encounters a splendid gallery of the most fascinating, eccentric, competitive, and foolish personalities ever to ask a hard question. In their company, he undertakes a sometimes profound, sometimes funny, and always supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the realms of human knowledge]]></description><link>https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C1511482</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C1511482</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bryson, Bill]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2003 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1511482113</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780767908177/MC.GIF&amp;client=mnetp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Short History of Nearly Everything]]></title><description><![CDATA[In this book Bill Bryson explores the most intriguing and consequential questions that science seeks to answer and attempts to understand everything that has transpired from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization.
