Everybody wants to have science on their side when they need to win an argument, and that's what Norm Davidson and his editorial board of four friends in Paraclifta, Arkansas, offer up to the readers of Scientific Arkansan magazine each month--science that people can agree on.
With articles like Machine Guns--Great for hunting and they're no less safe than regular guns, and maybe more so and The most common causes for nervous breakdowns and how to avoid catching one and Things that you should avoid burning in your trash barrel, they have their finger on the pulse of small-town, common sense science, all backed by their own careful scientific research.
All well and good until a couple of competing big-time Washington, DC, lobbyists find just the science they need in the pages of Scientific Arkansan. Will Norm and his dedicated board of science reporters sell out or stay true to their mission?
