'Merchants of Doubt'
Engage in an important dialogue heating up the world's conversations: climate change.
Climate change has been politicized and in turn polarized many within the discussion. Wherever you fall with the issue, author Naomi Oreskes in her book, Merchants of Doubt, presents a compelling argument.
Oreskes explores the story of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists and advisers, with deep connections in politics and industry, ran effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny well-established science over four decades. Her book 'rolls back the rug on this dark corner of the American scientific community, showing how ideology and corporate interests, aided by a too-compliant media, have skewed public understanding of some of the most pressing issues of our era.'
Meet author Naomi Oreskes and join the discussion, Sunday, June 13th.
A Great Good Place for Books will be onsite for signing opportunities; the book officially launches June 11th.
A light reception will follow and spaces are limited. Register at: 510.336.7373
