CENSORING SCIENCE: Inside the Political Attack on Dr. James Hansen and the Surprising Truth About Global Warming by Mark Bowen, at $25.95 (H) from Dutton, ISBN 0525950141 - 9780525950141. NASA climatologist Dr. James Hansen has been studying climate for over three decades. It was his testimony to a Senate committee in 1988 that first brought the threat of global warming to light, and his expertise that the Bush administration was caught attempting to suppress in January 2006. Now writer and physicist Mark Bowen tells Hansen's story.
