De la contraportada

IN PRAISE OF "Community members that live downwind and downstream of Department of Energy weapons-production sites know firsthand that contamination doesn't stop at the fence line. They have been subjected to health studies that protect the agency and the federal government from a moral responsibility to fully disclose the entire environmental and health legacy of nuclear weapons production. Tortured Science raises important ethical issues about how health studies have gone awry and how citizens who served the United States during the Cold War have been abandoned by their government as acceptable collateral damage." —Susan Gordon, Director, Alliance for Nuclear Accountability "Before torturing suspects to extract data became the norm today, torturing science to hide data was standard operating procedure in the nuclear age. Tortured Science sheds light on key narratives of obstruction and deceit that have kept the dangers of ionizing radiation from public view. Dedicated to the late radiation-research pioneer Dr. Alice Stewart, this book honors her life's work by documenting a wide array of health effects resulting from the mass production of nuclear weapons in the United States. In a post-Fukushima world, knowing the difference between convoluted half-truths and elusive hard truths can make all the difference in the world." —Robert Del Tredici, Photographer/author, The People of Three Mile Island and At Work in the Fields of the Bomb "We need to be constantly reminded about the 'public' in public health. Public health science without the 'public; is not just bad science, it is ethically flawed. Put more simply, it is wrong. This book is simultaneously inspiring and dismaying, showing in detail what technically and ethically flawed public health science looks like. No practitioners or students of public health should be allowed to avert their eyes. Tortured Science is food for thought and a goad to action, by some of the most important figures in the movement to truly include 'public' in public health." —David Ozonoff, MD, MPH, Professor of Environmental Health, Boston University School of Public Health
