Sins against science : how misinformation affects our lives and laws / Judi Nath ; foreword by Jim Obergefell. by Nath, Judi Lindsley. McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers, 2022. Call #: 306.45 N274s Subjects Science -- Social aspects.   Science -- Miscellanea.   Pseudoscience. ISBN:  9781476686394 (pbk.) Description:  x, 230 p. ; 26 cm. Notes:  Science and Society Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 203-217) and index. Summary:  "Misinformation has had dramatic and dangerous effects, as evidenced by numerous events of the late 2010s and early 2020s. Reading a steady stream of misinformation leads to distrust, potentially leading to conflict in one's family and workplace, and even to civil unrest. At the heart of many such matters is scientific illiteracy. This book uses science and facts as a basis of every deliberation over laws and policies related to issues such as vaccines, sexual identity, race and evolution, alternative medicine and human reproduction. Each eminently readable chapter opens with a landmark Supreme Court case, explaining the issues with a multiperspective lense." --Back cover. Other authors:  Obergefell, James.
