Politically Incorrect Guide to Science
"If the globe is warming, is mankind responsible, or is the sun?" Such a statement does not appear out of place in Bethell's entertaining account of how modern science is politically motivated and in desperate need of oversight. Bethell writes in a compulsively readable style, and although he provides legitimate insight into the potential benefits of nuclear power and hormesis, some readers will be turned off when he attempts to disprove global warming and especially evolution. Throughout the book, Bethell makes questionable claims about subjects as varied as AIDS ("careful U.S. studies had already shown that at least a thousand sexual contacts are needed to achieve heterosexual transmission of the virus") and extinction ("It is not possible definitely to attribute any given extinction to human activity"), and backs up his arguments with references to the music magazine SPIN and thriller-writer Michael Crichton. Ironically, Bethell ends up proving his own premise by producing a highly politicized account of how liberal intellectuals and unchecked government agencies have created a "white-coated priesthood" whose lust for grant money has driven them to produce fearsome (but in Bethell's view, false) tales of ozone destruction and AIDS pandemics. In the end, this book is unlikely to sway readers who aren't already in Bethell's ideological camp, as any points worthy of discussion get lost in the glut of unsourced claims that populate this latest installment of "The Politically Incorrect Guide" series.
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism And Intelligent Design
A non-technical analysis of the controversial culture war over Darwin versus intelligent design states that there is no irrefutable evidence supporting Darwinism, argues that Darwin-based theories that are taught in school are not fact-based, and reveals how scientists at major universities believe in intelligent design.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I am not a scientist, but I do regularly appear on television to expose the unscientific claims about catastrophic man-made climate change. I have spent the last twenty-five years in a variety of disciplines, including as a working journalist, documentary maker, radio talk show host, and author. #2 I am a climate skeptic, a doubter, and a dissenter. I have been smeared as a denier. But I am not alone in my skepticism. I work regularly with a large network of internationally renowned scientists, many of them formerly of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. #3 I started out my political life as an eleven-year-old volunteer for Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign. I was not a fan of James Watt, Reagan’s Interior secretary, as I was upset by his land-use policies and by what I perceived to be his anti-environmental stances. #4 My documentary refuted the myth that environmentalists and celebrities are the friends of indigenous people. I spoke with the tribal leaders who have contempt for environmental activists and celebrities because they feel exploited by them.
