520 1 $a"What do we know about the possible poisons that industrial technologies leave in American air and water? How reliable is the science that federal regulators and legislators use to protect the public from dangerous products and pollutants? As this impressively well-documented and deeply disturbing book shows, ideological or economic attacks on research - and on scientists personally - are not isolated incidents, but part of an extensive pattern of abuse." "McGarity and Wagner reveal the range of sophisticated legal and financial tactics political and corporate advocates use to discredit or suppress research, or invent controversy, on possible human health hazards." "With compelling stories drawn entirely from the public record, McGarity and Wagner describe the ways many advocates attempt to bend science to reach a convenient outcome or to "spin" inconvenient findings if they become public. An immense number of legal tools are available to shrewd and well-heeled partisans determined to manipulate research."--BOOK JACKET.
