Doubt is Their Product: How Industry's Assault on Science Threatens Your HealthDavid MichaelsThe book became repetitive (as if the author had to reach a certain number of pages) and again, what is with this trend where publishers don't edit any more? The book needs a LOT of editing--re-writing of sentences so they don't have to be read twice, inserting of commas, cutting out of repetition including excruciatingly repetitive commentary (which amounts to padding), etc.
Anyway, the book is very good at informing about what goes on in research, and the real world of conspiracies that protect businesses from legal liability. The book should have named more names as far as law firms are involved. For those who think judges are fair and neutral little elves who apply the law impartially, here's an interesting quote: "The attack [against proposed OSHA ergonomics standards] was led by Eugene Scalia, the son of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia fils founded and ran the National Coalition on Ergonomics, a group of trade associations opposed to an OSHA regulation. . . . Scalia claimed that OSHA's proposed regulation was based on 'junk science.' . . . Congress repealed it with the full support of the new Bush administration. The new president took the anti-ergonomics effort even further and appointed Scalia solicitor of the Department of Labor, where he would serve as OSHA's chief lawyer and defender." (Pp. 122-123)
