Republican War on Science Paperback---Anticipatory Post

This morning, I'm just finishing up final edits on the paperback version of the book. Especially as these things go in the publishing industry, it contains quite a ton of new material: A lengthy new preface that covers recent developments, puts everything in a still broader context, and discusses what scientists themselves can do about the problem of political attacks on science; and seven chapter updates, bringing the storyline up to date on climate science, "data quality," obesity and mercury, endangered species protections, evolution, stem cells, and reproductive health. The paperback should be out this fall and I am already planning a September tour that will take me out to the West Coast as well as perhaps to some new places where I haven't been before (if you have any ideas, now is the time to suggest them). Between now and then, I am pretty much exclusively devoting myself to hurricane stuff, but RWOS will be back with a vengeance this fall....
