The Science Behind the Headlines

Richard A. Muller   

overview

“A marvelously readable and level-headed explanation of basic science and how it relates to the issues.” —John Tierney, New York Times

This is “must-have” information for all presidents—and citizens—of the twenty-first century: Is Iran’s nascent nuclear capability a genuine threat to the West? Are biochemical weapons likely to be developed by terrorists? Are there viable alternatives to fossil fuels that should be nurtured and supported by the government? Should nuclear power be encouraged? Can global warming be stopped?
