Not a Scientist: How Politicians Mistake, Misrepresent, and Utterly Mangle Science
An eye-opening tour of the political tricks that subvert scientific progress.

Dave Levitan dismantles all of these deceptive arguments, and many more, in this probing and hilarious examination of the ways our elected officials attack scientific findings that conflict with their political agendas. The next time you hear a politician say, "Well, I’m not a scientist, but…," you’ll be ready.
