Merchants of Doubt Do Business Opposing Regulation: Talk at Glendale Library Wednesday 1


Cal Tech historian Erik Conway will be at the Glendale Central Library this Wednesday night to discuss his book Merchants of Doubt, which tells the story of scientists with connections in politics and industry. These merchants sell “doubt” and run effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny inconvenient scientific evidence, on topics from health hazards of smoking to evidence for climate change.

From the Glendale Library’s event webpage: “Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway, historians of science, roll back the rug on this dark corner of the American scientific community, showing how ideology and corporate interests, aided by a too-compliant media, have skewed public understanding of some of the most pressing issues of our era.”

This FREE event, sponsored by the Friends of the Glendale Public Library, will be held at
Glendale Central Library Children’s Room
222 E. Harvard St.
Glendale
Wednesday, November 17, 7 p.m.
