Changing Hands is a legendary bookstore here in Tempe, and tomorrow it will host Chris Mooney at 7pm for a talk on his wonderful book The Republican War on Science which is now available (updated!) in paperback. Chris' book is an eye-opening account of how the GOP has taken the politicization of science to a whole new level and is required reading for anyone (scientist or not) who cares about science in 21st Century America. Bring your copy as Chris will be signing.
