This new and expanded Fourth Edition of Dr. Benarde's myth-defying
book uses an evidence-based approach to refute today's pervasive,
environmental doomsday hype. With up-to-date information
consolidated from authoritative scientific journals and presented
in highly readable form, Our Precarious Habitat . . . It's In Your
Hands: covers hot-button issues like global warming, nuclear
energy, electromagnetic fields, alternative health practices, and
more; covers illnesses such as SARS, avian flu, West Nile virus,
and prion diseases like mad cow; and includes facts, figures,
tables, and charts derived from respected scientific sources and
presented in easy-to-understand terms.
New to this edition are sections on alternative energy sources,
climate change, and creationism vs. evolution, plus expanded
information on food safety that covers genetically modified foods,
organic foods, free-radicals and antioxidants, and dietary
supplements.
This book is a great resource for environmental science
professionals and a thought-provoking textbook for students in
medicine and public health, the social sciences, earth science, and
other areas. Most of all, it's an eye-opening reference for
concerned officials and citizens who want a clear, unbiased
perspective on environmental issues in order to separate scientific
fact from alarmist propaganda.
