    Naturally Dangerous

NATURALLY DANGEROUS"Nothing is completely safe or risk free", as we are constantly required to balance "one risk against another". So says Dr. James Collman of Stanford's Department of Chemistry in the preface of his recently published book, "Naturally Dangerous".  Filled with interesting, scientific and historic anecdotes which will appeal to the curious reader, it's larger purpose is to explain in lay terms, the essence of the more important scientific controversies which have impacted public policy in recent decades.  There is great risk in nature, but scientific understanding and the introduction of commercial applications of science have insulated us from many of these naturally occurring risks, allowing for a near doubling of life expectancy over the past century.  But this desirable end has come at a cost.  As Dr. Collman posits, "there is no free lunch".  We constantly deal with tradeoffs between risk reduction and the creation of new risks, which our interventions spawn.  It is only through meaningful understanding of the pertinent scientific concepts that we as a society can begin to make rational judgments.  The problem is that we live in a sea of scientific illiteracy both on the part of the electorate as well as within our political leadership.  Often trained in the law, many woefully lack necessary technical insight.  Such a state paves the way for purposeful obfuscation of the scientific reality, creating an environment favorable for the promotion of public phobias for partisan political ends.  By providing us with 224 pages of easy to read basic science, Dr. Collman does his part to push these debates in a logical direction.Duncan Mason, MD

    a sharp and engaging way to learn about science

"Naturally dangerous" is a blast. Collman is interesting,fun and sharp. The book covers many fundamental conceptsof science and chemistry. Unlike most books, it approachesscience in an engaging way. It shows how chemistry is partof your everyday life.The strongest point of this book is the perspective thatCollman has on how science and society interact. The bookputs science and society under the loop. It uses chemistryas a tool to dissect important topics: health, AIDS,radioactivity, drugs, ozone, ... It challenges the readerwith many questions. I particularly liked the examplesof scientific misconceptions: nuclear free environment,health food store,... By the end of the book, I got acritical view on many problems I had never thought ofbefore.Collman uses words to explain science. There are no equationsor chemical formulas. This can be very easy to read fornon-scientists. I am scientist and was familiar with manyof the concepts. However, I learned in every chapters aboutnew topics and examples. I recommend this book to peoplehow want to learn about chemistry and science.
