Merchants Of Doubt
£6.89
The U.S. scientific community has long led the world in research on such areas as public health environmental science & issues affecting quality of life. Our scientists have produced landmark studies on the dangers of DDT tobacco smoke acid rain & global warming. But at the same time a small yet potent subset of this community leads the world in vehement denial of these dangers. Merchants of Doubt tells the story of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists & scientific advisers with deep connections in politics & industry ran effective campaigns to mislead the public & deny well-established scientific knowledge over four decades. Remarkably the same individuals surface repeatedly
- some of the same figures who have claimed that the science of global warming is not settled" denied the truth of studies linking smoking to lung cancer coal smoke to acid rain & CFCs to the ozone hole. " Doubt is our product " wrote one tobacco executive. These experts supplied it. Naomi Oreskes & Erik M. Conway historians of science roll back the rug on this dark corner of the American scientific community showing how ideology & corporate interests aided by a too-compliant media have skewed public understanding of some of the most pressing issues of our era."

Merckx: Half Man Half
Bike
£10.87
What makes a man the greatest of all time? Eddy Merckx is to cycling what Muhammad Ali is to boxing or Pele to football: quite simply the best there has ever been. Throughout his professional career Merckx amassed an astonishing 445 victories. To put that in perspective Bradley Wiggins has fewer than forty. Merckx was a machine. It wasnt just the number of victories; it was his remorseless domination that created the legend. In 1969 while already comfortably leading the Tour de France Merckx hammered a further eight-&-a-half minutes out of his nearest rivals during an 85-mile solo break in the Pyrenees. He didnt just beat his opponents he crushed them. But his triumphs only tell half a story that

Includes:: horrific injury a doping controversy & tragedy. He was nicknamed The Cannibal for his insatiable appetite for victory but the moniker did scant justice to a man who was handsome sensitive & surprisingly anxious. For Britains leading cycling writer William Fotheringham the burning question remains why? What made Eddy Merckx so invincible? In Half Man Half Bike Fotheringham goes back to speak to those who were there at the time & those who knew Merckx best. The result is this extraordinary & definitive story of a man whose fear of failure would drive him to reach the highest pinnacles before ultimately destroying him.
