The Republican War On Science

i-23a2df1b945494206f6e87c6d7bc172d-RWOS cover.jpgMy SciBling Chris Mooney, the first science blogger I ever discovered (and whose blogroll let me into the scienceblogging world) is the author of one of the most important books of last year, The Republican War On Science.

I have read the hardcover as soon as I got it (and my copy was shipped in the first batch) and intend to read the paperback as soon as it arrives in my mailbox - which should be today or tomorrow as the book started shipping yesterday. Until your own copy arrives in the mail (and it will be soon, of course, as you are about to order it), you should check out the book homepage where you can learn more about the book, read the new Introduction which explains how much difference there is between harcover and paperback versions, you can read an excerpt and see if there will be a book-signing event in your town this fall.

So much has already been said about the book and so many reviews have been published, I never managed to find my own angle to write a review myself. Perhaps reading the new edition will give me an inspiration for an outrageous rant in the near future!
