realthogWell, golly! I've just discovered that, in the closing minutes (literally) of last year, Angela Gunn of the USA Today blog Tech_Space posted her Best Science Books of 2007 list, and among the nine books there is my own Corrupted Science. I am, naturally, very, very pleased!
Gunn gives the book a good capsule review, too:
. . . this looked . . . like one of those bargain throwaways you see at Barnes and Noble -- until you remember how much fun Grant's 2006 Discarded Science was and scoop it up in search of chewy anecdotal goodness. The tone this time is considerably darker . . . His comparison of the current administration's assault on scientific truth and inquiry goes even further than Christopher Mooney's 2005 The Republican War on Science -- but then again the administration's had two more years to run amuck.
For the rest, see http://blogs.usatoday.com/techspace/2007/12/closing-the-boo.html. This is like finding an unopened Christmas present!
