Challenging environmental mythology

the long version

"This book is an evaluation of the current state of the environmental movement, which has reached the status of a mythological deity. The original intent of the movement, to educate and formulate public policy using sound scientific data has been lost." "Covering select areas, this book shares with readers the research showing that much of what we have been led to believe is true, is actually myth. It is an attempt to elicit awareness by the public and to help policymakers make sound decisions on the environment which are based on science, not on the opinions and desires of activists."--BOOK JACKET.
