Some recent things your list suggests:<br>
<i><br>
Hopes and Prospects</i>, by Noam Chomsky (Haymarket 2010). Much
about LA, and about the ME.<br>
<br>
<i>Galileo Goes to Jail and Other Myths about Science and Religion</i>,
ed. Ronald L. Numbers (Harvard UP 2009). AMAZON: Defining myth as
just “a claim that is false,” editor Numbers and 24 other scholars
debunk 25 falsehoods about science and religion. The most
familiar—that the church imprisoned and tortured Galileo, that
medieval Islam was hostile to science, that medieval Christians
thought the earth was flat, that the church fought against
anesthesia—have long been discredited, yet the briefs on them so
admirably distill their history that Wikipedia should swipe them.
Others—that the church suppressed science, prohibited dissection,
and martyred Giordano Bruno for his scientific work—still have their
propagandists...<br>
<br>
On <i>News from Neptune</i> (tonight at 7pm on ch. 6), David Green
suggests<i> The Complex: How the Military Invades Our Everyday Lives</i>,
by Nick Turse (American Empire Project 2008).<br>
