The Politics of Pure Science, a pioneering and controversial work, set a new standard for the realistic examination of the place of science in American politics and society. Dispelling the myth of scientific purity and detachment, Daniel S. Greenberg documents in revealing detail the political processes that underpinned government funding of science from the 1940s to the 1970s. While the book's hard-hitting approach earned praise from a broad audience, it drew harsh fire from many scientists, who did not relish their turn under the microscope. The fact that this dispute is so reminiscent of today's acrimonious "Science Wars" demonstrates that although science has changed a great deal since The Politics of Pure Science first appeared, the politics of science has not—which is why this book retains its importance. For this new edition, John Maddox (Nature editor emeritus) and Steven Shapin have provided introductory essays that situate the book in broad social and historical context, and Greenberg has written a new afterword taking account of recent developments in the politics of science. "[A] book of consequence about science as one of the more consequential social institutions in the modern world. It is one that could be understood and should be read by the President, legislators, scientists and the rest of us ordinary folk. . . . Informative and perceptive."—Robert K. Merton, New York Times Book Review

In this concluding volume in the trilogy that begins with On Power and moves to Sovereignty, Bertrand de Jouvenel proposes to remedy a serious deficiency in political science, namely: the lack of agreement on first principles, or 'elements'. The author's concern is with political processes as they actually exist, not as they are conjectured to be in hypothetical models.

The distinction between basic and applied research was central to twentieth-century science and policymaking, and if this framework has been contested in recent years, it nonetheless remains ubiquitous in both scientific and public discourse. Employing a transnational, diachronic perspective informed by historical semantics, this volume traces the conceptual history of the basic–applied distinction from the nineteenth century to today, taking stock of European developments alongside comparative case studies from the United States and China. It shows how an older dichotomy of pure and applied science was reconceived in response to rapid scientific progress and then further transformed by the geopolitical circumstances of the postwar era.

This book is volume 1 of a 6 volume series of science books regarding the results of extensive technical analysis conducted by Larry Larcom (the author) on the straight forward characteristics of our physical existence without the influence of political, religious, and anti-religious biases. The real truths of the universe are simple and easy to understand and just as importantly, they are verifiable. The simple truths of the universe have been hidden from our view by biases of our day which are in the form of falsehoods sprinkled with bits of truth to make them seem true. The targeted audience is young adults with at least a high school education and higher. Emphasis is placed on having the reader understand the truths of our physical existence for themselves without having to choose what elitists to believe in. The importance of the general public having the same simple truths as part of their own personal knowledge base is seen as a needed unifying factor that will eventually come to fruition. Advanced technology is a factor behind this trend. The simple truths of the universe can not be hidden from view for ever. As effective technical advances prove themselves to be truthful concepts, so will our knowledge of actual truths be ascertained. Too many times this pure science approach has revealed that the real truths of the universe are 180 degrees away from what we have had shoveled into our heads. We, the general public of the world need to get past our era of believing in the partial truths of our day. Once we do get more of a grip on the genuine physical aspects of our existence, the intangibles such as integrity will fall more easily into place. The bulk of the emphasis is to show the reader what is out there and let them decide for themselves as to what to believe. It shouldn't be a matter of something like science vs religion, or politics. The pure and simple truths of the universe are what they are and what we want and need to know.

From the beginning, science has nourished the political ideal that its knowledge and applications should liberate men from magic, fear, and oppression. Salomon traces this ideal from its origin through the early nineteenth-century French laissez-faire attitude, which tolerated but did not yet underwrite scientific research, to the time when American scientists put the atom at the disposition of the military, Roosevelt asked American researchers to help effect the New Deal, and Leon Blum made Irene Joliot-Curie and Jean Perrin undersecretaries for scientific research."This book is about politics--about political decision and action on issues which affect science," writes Salomon. He deals with basic rather than social science and focuses on research subsidized by governments for military and defense purposes. He is concerned equally with an empirical investigation of the scientist's condition in modern society and with a philosophical examination of the moral questions involved in the scientist's relations with political authority and in the changed nature of science itself."Science and Politics" poses precisely those questions about values, science, and politics that lie at the heart of the contemporary American debate about the moral and political implications of technology. The book presents its issues in a comparative perspective. Most of the cases are drawn from American experiences "because this relation [of science to power] assumed the institutionalized form which it now has in all industrialized countries earlier and on a larger scale in the United States, with more acute problems, greater awareness and a richer effort of reflection than elsewhere..."The speculative conclusion of the book is that against the idea of "pure" science and the idea of "applied" science will rise up the notion of the realm of "science, period," where scientific man will not only engage in pure and applied research but will also consider science more carefully in its problematic relation to humanity.

Scientists have a choice concerning what role they should play in political debates and policy formation, particularly in terms of how they present their research. This book is about understanding this choice, what considerations are important to think about when deciding, and the consequences of such choices for the individual scientist and the broader scientific enterprise. Rather than prescribing what course of action each scientist ought to take, the book aims to identify a range of options for individual scientists to consider in making their own judgments about how they would like to position themselves in relation to policy and politics. Using examples from a range of scientific controversies and thought-provoking analogies from other walks of life, The Honest Broker challenges us all - scientists, politicians and citizens - to think carefully about how best science can contribute to policy-making and a healthy democracy.
