+ Clearly exposes the most frequent calumnies made against science
+ Shows how dogmatic religion, the financial interests of certain
industries, and opportunistic politicians sometime work in cohort
to undermine the public’s trust in science + Acknowledges that
science’s most mistaken critics are often skilled communicators,
and that effectively defending science requires an equally skilled
defense + Shows that while the “Science Wars“ of the 1990s have
abated, their effects on some of the methodologies in higher
education and the larger population continue + Examines three case
studies to clearly illustrate how reliable scientific knowledge is
secured: • Eratosthenes’ discovery of the circumference of the
earth • Louis Pasteur’s development of anthrax and rabies
vaccines • The rapid emergence of scientific consensus regarding
continental drift
