SCIENCE UNDER SIEGE How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces That Threaten Our World

One can forgive the coauthors for straying from clinical detachment and instead writing with sharp edges, flashes of bitterness, and even a touch of snark. Both have endured frightening personal attacks simply for championing science. Tim Campbell's sonorous authoritative voice has a journalistic feel, but what makes his performance exceptional is how he channels the audiobook's passion. He leans into the urgency, pointedness, and occasional sarcasm without sounding strident. Focusing on climate change and vaccines, the authors pull no punches in their critique of the anti-science movement, and Campbell mirrors their intensity. The result is not a dry lecture but an urgent, engrossing report from the front lines. D.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2025]
