Synopsis
While almost every American can name several "stars" of reality TV, fewer than half can name a living scientist, according to Chris Mooney and Sheril Kirshenbaum, and less than 20% have ever met one. Mooney and Kirshenbaum make the bold claim that Americans are scientifically illiterate, and then they provide a startling pile of evidence to support their assertion. While the mainstream media's coverage of science has become almost nonexistent, those few science topics which do make headlines, such as the planetary status of Pluto, the continued controversy surrounding global warming, and the ongoing debate over evolution, serve to demonstrate that an astounding number of people still can not agree to accept scientific ideas which are evidentially irrefutable. Mooney and Kirshenbaum show how the media, politicians, religious leaders, and scientists themselves have all nurtured America's scientific ignorance, and they issue a call to create an "army of ambassadors" who will work to make scientific knowledge a larger part of our national agenda.
