I wish there was a no-star category December 18, 1998
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
The pretty pictures on the front cover thinly disguise the fact that this book is intended as an assault on environmental science. The premise that permiates this book is the same one that the Tobbacco Industry used for years: "There's no conclusive proof that smoking 'causes' lung cancer." Well, I don't plan on waiting for the conclusive proof for global warming. Besides, the solution to global warming is to seek alternative fuels that don't pollute, and more efficient buildings, cars, and factories. Where's the down-side? I admit that sometimes environmentalists can couch their message in alarmist language, mostly because that's the only time our country rallies around a cause. Unfortunately, this book acts like the "voice of reason" when in fact, is trying to undermine any real change in the way we approach environmental protection. The conclusion drawn by this book are, ironically, as laughably narrow-minded as the "exercises" they recommend as teaching lessons .
Should have a "Zero Star" rating June 25, 1998

"Facts not Fear" is nothing but a vehicle for the environmentally ignorant to try to teach children that nothing they so can impact the earth in a negative way. The section on pesticides made my blood run cold.
Irresponsible and full of misinformation, this book is poor. April 20, 1998

I found this book to be completely irresponsible and misleading. It is slickly packaged and appears well-researched--on the surface.Through the content of this book, parents are being encouraged to put their valuable time and energy into becoming adversaries against well-educated and environmentally-minded schoolteachers. These teachers have the best interests of the planet and the next generation in mind. Sure, it would be nice to think that we don't need to be afraid for the health of our planet. I would truly love to believe the misinformation that's included in this book--but the "facts" presented in the book are based on fuzzy logic and poor propaganda. If your public library is given a copy of this book, notify the library officials as to its nature. It is promoted and endorsed by Dr. James Dobson, the right-wing extremist who would be pleased if the U.S. government collapsed in a similar way to the Soviet Union (See the August 1997 newsletter from Dobson's group "Focus on the Family").
