Industrial-Strength Denial

Industrial-Strength Denial

Author: Barbara Freese
Publishing date: 2020
How corporate denial harms our world and continues to threaten our future.

Denial campaigns have let corporations continue dangerous practices that cause widespread suffering, death, and environmental destruction.

Strategic Ignorance

Author: Carl Pope
Paul Rauber
Publishing date: 2004
Published in cloth in 2004, "Strategic Ignorance" revealed to countless readers the true scope of the Bush administration's assault on the environment. Midway through the second Bush term, with a Supreme Court far less likely to rein in the 'wrecking crew' - as the authors describe those working to dismantle environmental protections - this book will be even more important and useful. "Strategic Ignorance" sets forth not only the shocking Bush record but the stories and strategies behind it. Sierra Club executive director Carl Pope and coauthor Paul Rauber brief us on the key administration figures, as well as legislators and lobbyists on the reactionary right, who strive to gut landmark laws; facilitate payback to polluters; distort, suppress, or ignore science; and
