We live in complicated, dangerous times. They are also
hyper-technical times. As citizens who will elect future
presidents of the most powerful and influential country in
the world, we need to know—truly understand, not just rely
on television's talking heads—if Iran's nascent nuclear
capability is a genuine threat to the West, if biochemical
weapons are likely to be developed by terrorists, if there
are viable alternatives to fossil fuels that should be
nurtured and supported by the government, if nuclear power
should be encouraged, and if global warming is actually
happening. This book is written in everyday, nontechnical language on
the science behind the concerns that our nation faces in the
immediate future. Even active readers of serious journalism
will be surprised by the lessons that the book contains. It
is "must-have" information for all presidents—and
citizens—of the twenty-first century.
