In \u003cem\u003eThe\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eTriumph of Doubt\u003c\/em\u003e, former Obama and Clinton official David Michaels details how corrupt science becomes public policy -- and where it's happening today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOpioids. Concussions. Obesity. Climate Change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmerica is a country of everyday crises -- big, long-spanning problems that persist despite their toll on the country's health. And for every case of government inaction on one of these issues, there is a set of familiar, doubtful refrains: The science is unclear. The data are inconclusive. Regulation is unjustified. It's a slippery slope. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIs it? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Triumph of Doubt\u003c\/em\u003e traces the ascendance of science-for-hire in American life and government, from its origins in the tobacco industry in the 1950s to its current manifestations across government, public policy, and even professional sports. Amid fraught conversations of \"alternative facts\" and \"truth decay,\" \u003cem\u003eThe Triumph of Doubt\u003c\/em\u003e wields its unprecedented access to shine a light on the machinations and scope of manipulated science in American society. It is an urgent, revelatory work, one that promises to reorient conversations around science and the public good for the foreseeable future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Michaels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019767531X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197675311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.15w x 0.92d","brand":"David Michaels","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080814719231,"sku":"9780197675311","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b84e94d3-ab84-4198-8871-dc3ad26ddd49.jpg?v=1685488984","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-triumph-of-doubt-michaels-9780197675311","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
