Reviews
"There is so much to commend this book. Not only is it packed with solidly researched evidence, it's also a gripping narrative read. there are few books on current affairs that really qualify as page-turners, but this is most definitely one of them ... It ought to be required reading for every adult in the country." Pan Pantziarka, London Book Review.com, March 12th 2008, "It takes a bold team of authors to take on Al Gore thesedays...while reading this book may make the reader want to punch his or her localelected official and the news correspondent he rode in on, the responsibilityfor controlling these scares ultimately rests with each of us." Popmatters.com, '[A] Brilliant and Beautifully Written Expose of Some of the Most Destructive Delusions of Our Time", 'A very news-worthy subject, with Booker and North providing some much-needed common sense commentary.' Publishing News, "Every politician, every journalist, every consumer of journalism, should read, mark, learn and inwardly digest it."--Mail on Sunday, "Quite simply, a must read. This expose of 'scares' of our time makes for a fascinating and eye-opening study." Resource, &"Mr. Booker and Mr. North identify a dynamic through which amarginal public concern mushrooms into a full-blown scare â€� from salmonella andmad cow disease to DDT and asbestos, and focus on what may be the greatest,most costly scare of all: Global warming.&" --Washington Times, "It takes a bold team of authors to take on Al Gore thesedays...while reading this book may make the reader want to punch his or her localelected official and the news correspondent he rode in on, the responsibilityfor controlling these scares ultimately rests with each of us." --Popmatters.com, "Scared to Death is a masterful and salutary account of the most costly misjudgements of the last 25 years. Written with painful clarity, here is an important study of the process by which sloppy science becomes a difficult to shift orthodoxy." The Spectator, "Mr. Booker and Mr. North identify a dynamic through which amarginal public concern mushrooms into a full-blown scare " from salmonella andmad cow disease to DDT and asbestos, and focus on what may be the greatest,most costly scare of all: Global warming." --Washington Times
