Synopsis
"An exciting collection of articles that gives a panoramic view of the many mutual connections between scientific work and the larger social context. Among the variety of topics it covers are the role of universities in supporting nuclear weapons research and corporate power, scientific racism and sexism, the structure of the scientific workforce and many others. But this book differs from other critiques in also offering constructive suggestions for what might constitute a 'liberating science.' Well written and readily understandable it is a must for newcomers and veterans concerned with the effects of science and its applications in our daily lives." -- Ruth Hubbard, Harvard University
