Title: Pretty good but not perfect
Review: I'd really rather give this book 3 1/2 stars but I'll give it a 4-star rating because of its main point: science has been politicized to the point that almost all recent proclomations are suspect. Bethell is not trained in the sciences and his does make a few mistakes. However, he is very effective in pointing out how many "reputable" scientists have prostituted themselves out for grant money or a political agenda. Bethell is quite accurate in describing the increasingly political nature (pardon the pun) of reknowned journals such as "Nature", "Scientific American", "Science", and most sadly "National Geographic".Don't miss the forest for the trees when you read this book. Whatever minor mistakes are in this tome, the main point about the subversion of the scientific method in favor of a political agenda is dead-on and represents the most serious threat to science.
