Synopsis
This engaging analysis examines how misinformation cycles through the media, transforms public opinion, and eventually leads to public policy changes. Uncovering the often hidden beneficiaries of these scare tactics, this cautionary tale encourages readers to decipher the reality behind media-fed "fear mongering" and to focus instead on the more complex roots of America's problems, including racism, homophobia, and poverty.

Publisher's Note
A noted sociologist examines why Americans are subject to misplaced fears, discussing the people and organizations who manipulate common perceptions and raise anxieties for their own benefit. Book available. Read by the author.

Industry Reviews
"USC sociologist Barry Glassner has written a gutsy exposé of one of the most widespread delusions of our time: misplaced fear. Glassner demonstrates with precision and clarity that Americans today have built what he calls a 'culture of fear' by buying into rumors and hearsay that pass for facts."
Los Angeles Times (12/09/1999)
