Summary:  ""Doubt is our product," a cigarette executive once observed, "since it is the best means of competing with the 'body of fact' that exists in the minds of the general public. It is also the means of establishing a controversy."" "In this expose, David Michaels reveals just how prevalent - and how effective - such strategies have become. He argues that to keep the public confused about the hazards posed by global warming, secondhand smoke, asbestos, lead, plastics, and many other toxic materials, industry executives have hired unscrupulous scientists and lobbyists to dispute the scientific evidence that would alert the public to these dangers. Their goal is the manufacture of doubt."--Jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 615.902 Mic 2008 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
