Produktinformationen zu „The Geek Manifesto (ePub)“

We live in a country where:

·Only one of our 650 MPs has worked as a research scientist.

·The Government's drugs adviser was sacked for making a decision based on scientific fact rather than public opinion

·A writer can be forced into court for telling the scientific truth

·The media would rather sell papers by scaremongering over MMR vaccines and GM crops than report the less sensational facts.

Whether we want to improve education or cut crime, to enhance public health or to generate clean energy, science and its experimental method is critical.

It's time to stop the nonsense!

The Geek Manifesto shows us what needs to happen to entrench scientific thinking more deeply into politics and society. And how to turn our frustrated outrage into positive action that our country's leaders cannot ignore.

Pressezitat

"Powerful and important, The Geek Manifesto eloquently lays out a programme to make the UK a more rational and therefore prosperous and successful country. And it's not that hard to do! Base policy decisions on evidence, invest in our knowledge-based economy by supporting education and research, and above all promote reason above opinion. Everyone interested in importing the scientific method into public life should read this book, and then lobby their MP!"
