Abstract

The importance and topicality of When Science and Politics Collide: The Public Interest at Risk can hardly be doubted. Author Robert O. Schneider, of the University of North Carolina Pembroke, has a respectable publication history on issues that demonstrate the collision of science and politics: fracking, oil disaster prevention, and emergency management, among others. He provides cogent discussions in areas where clarity and understanding are essential, such as the distinction between science and politics and how they interact in the development of policy.
