whimsical story to life.
The American Civil War shaped the course of the country's history
and its national identity. This is no less true for the state of
Arkansas. Throughout the Natural State, people have paid homage and
remembrance to those who fought and what was fought for in memorial
celebrations and rituals. The memory of the war has been kept alive
by reunions and preservationists, continuing to shape the way the
War Between the States affects Arkansas and its people. Historian
W. Stuart Towns expertly tells the story of Arkansas's Civil War
heritage through its rituals of memorial, commemoration and
celebration that continue today.
Communication and assessment of scientific information is as
important as the science itself, especially when policy-makers,
politicians, and media specialists lack scientific backgrounds.
Scientific advice has never been in greater demand; nor has it been
more contested. This book explores the effect of the public
communication of science on the interaction between science and
policy development in the regulation of the environment, food,
health, and transport sectors. This second "Science and the Law"
book by these editors presents a series of case studies that
illustrate the impact of science communication to lawmakers and the
general public in other areas of policy development, including
nutrition, tobacco science, drugs, and environmental issues. The
chapter contributors all present an interesting cross-section of
current, hot-button issues that revolve around scientific
principles, and they clearly demonstrate the extent to which
accurate and appropriate communication of science influences
leaders and legislation.
