I thought that State of Fear was kind of preachy. I agreed with all of it, but it didn't flow well. It read like this lecture.

I think that it's unfortunate that the people who really need to read this book, won't.

I also think that it speaks volumes for the book that environmentalists are defacing them in bookstores. If it makes them mad, that means the book has got them worried. C

Awesome. Bump for later.

And the reason a politicized science is dangerous is the same reason that a politicized media is dangerous -- most assume that both are neutral and objective, and are mainly concerned with unearthing the truth. But the reality is that science and the media are being used by some to drive various agendas under the guise of "truth and objectivity." If there was ever an age when people should question everything, today is it.

Bookmark for reference. Good summary of the information presented in Crichton's State of Fear.

Thanks for posting this. Mark. Bought the book for my dad this Christmas. I have read it twice! State of Fear is an EXCELLENT book, if only for the wonderful fate awaiting the Martin Sheen character!!! I love Michael Crichton.

I didn't know if you had seen this or not. It might work for the Global Warming list.
