The Art and Politics of Science Harold Varmus New York/London: WW. Norton & Company
نویسنده
چکیده
Autobiographic throughout, The Art and Politics of Science is not an autobiography, and does not claim to be one. Neither is it a theoretical reflection on the relationship of science and politics. It is explicitly subjective, an always-personal account of what it means to do science. It tells us something about the nature of laboratory science, and of how politics is involved in the doing of science for example through allocating funds and legislating research. The book does not make any claims of general validity.
