Description
The gap between rapid scientific progress and public understanding faces unprecedented challenges. Leading research scientist Mike Berridge explores this troubled ground from a rare vantage point.
His descriptions of stunning new advances in human health are offset by hard questions about society's ability to keep pace. This exploration brings us into contact with hotly contested public health issues, such as cancer treatment, sugar consumption, and water fluoridation.
The Edge of Life: Controversies and Challenges in Human Health is also a heartfelt plea to place robust and impartial science at the centre of our thinking for the future.
