Rather than adding one more demonstration of science's intertwinement with politics, or one more call for increased public participation in science policy, Brown proposes a rethinking of democratic institutions... [T]his book should be considered essential reading for those interested in ongoing discussions about the relationships between science and politics.
--R. Holifield, Contemporary Political TheoryNot only does [Brown] grapple with the complex values that are required by democratic representation; he also looks at how various institutions can and do embody those values and how we might do better... His book is clearly a must-read for those engaged in this issue.
--M.J. Brown, IsisScience in Democracy presents a useful collection of arguments for anyone concerned with the politics of science... Democratizing science, [Brown] suggests, is less a matter of increasing public participation than of supporting a diverse ecology of modes of political representation.
--A. Moore, Social Studies of ScienceBrown...fights fire with fire, in the manner of Madison's treatment of factions: accept the politicization [of science] but fix the politics by creating a complex 'framework of democratic representation' throughout. His recommendations are quite detailed, and based on a deep, enjoyable analysis.... This is, in fact, a thinker's book, and one closes it with the thought that 'well, it just might work.' Highly recommended.
