The March of Unreason: Science, Democracy, and the New Fundamentalism
Taverne, Dick (Chairman, Sense About Science)
The misguided belief that "nature is best" has resulted in the rise of alternative medicine and organic farming, in campaigns against vaccines like MMR, and in a concerted effort to block the development of GM crops - a technology that may greatly alleviate world hunger. Dick Taverne looks at the evidence, and examines the pessimism and distrust of science that has become rife in society.
