Challenging Environmental Mythology: Wrestling Zeus

Rating:
Summary: A must read - Understand the facts instead of hysteria!
Review: This is an awesome read that is fast paced and presents a counter to the pseudo-science and hysteria presented by the media and the "environmentalists". We've allowed half truths and propaganda to replace good scientific analysis in public policy, creating programs spending billions of dollars that might save one life in the next 20 years versus efforts that could save thousands now. Just yesterday (April 3rd, 2004), the San Jose Mercury news reported on the rescue of some bird eggs that would not survive in the wild due to thin egg shells because of DDT - a myth that has become a commonly held 'fact' that is refuted in Dini's book (with many others...). Be informed - know both sides of the issues - read this book!
