Politics of American Science 1939 To the Present

"An excellent source book.... The volume contains some very important and challenging documents. Much of the administrative and policy history of the World War II agencies for research and development is sensitively and economically told through the use of well-chosen and well-abridged documents and a thoughtful editorial road map for those who have forgotten or never knew OSRD, NDRC, NRC, and the wartime activities of Vannevar Bush, Karl Compton, and Leonard Carmichael...the readings make a real contribution to teaching, public discussion, and the advance of research and education on a vital subject still largely neglected by the appropriate scholarly disciplines." - SciencePenick, James L. is the author of 'Politics of American Science 1939 To the Present' with ISBN 9780262660143 and ISBN 0262660148.
