520    "From climate change to evolution, the rejection of 
       mainstream science among Republicans is growing, as is the
       denial of expert consensus on the economy, American 
       history, foreign policy and much more. Why won't 
       Republicans accept things that most experts agree on? Why 
       are they constantly fighting against the facts? Science 
       writer Chris Mooney explores brain scans, polls, and 
       psychology experiments to explain why conservatives today 
       believe more wrong things; appear more likely than 
       Democrats to oppose new ideas and less likely to change 
       their beliefs in the face of new facts; and sometimes 
       respond to compelling evidence by doubling down on their 
       current beliefs."--Publisher description.
