The Honest Broker: Making Sense of Science in Policy and politics by Roger Pielke Jr
What's the difference between tornado politics and abortion politics? And how do we know when to rely on evidence? Written with a focus on policies and politics, it's just as appropriate for thinking about how we as society use science to inform our decisions, and what roles scientists might and could play in this. With almost no assumptions about prior knowledge, it's a fascinating read for those who've wondered about how big decisions are made.
