Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces That Threaten Our World

Michael E. Mann and Peter J. Hotez examine the organized forces undermining public confidence in science at a moment of overlapping climate, health, and technological crises. Drawing on their experiences confronting misinformation, harassment, and political pressure, they identify the interests, ideologies, media systems, and conspiracy networks that turn evidence into a partisan target. The book explains how attacks on scientists damage policy and public safety while offering strategies for communication, institutional defense, and civic action. It is a call to protect scientific inquiry without withdrawing from the democratic debate surrounding it.
