Doomsday denied

the long version

This book -- 21 chapters from ozone depletion to psychics - is a big bang for the buck. Each topic is covered in a no-nonsense style that tells it like it is. If you've ever wondered (as I have) what global warming is really all about and why it is controversial; or where alien abductions should fit in your life (am I next?); or what we should really worry about (plutonium and terrorism are high on Ocko's list), then give this book a look. Lots of information, too - websites and telephone numbers. Plus it's a fun read, never too serious despite its subjects
