Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"This book provides an excellent overview of diverse topics in science policy, including socio-legal and ethical issues in biomedical research. It stands out as a leading text, its breadth and richness of cases supported by excellent sources from mainstream science and medicine. The topics covered are very current." --Sheldon Krimsky, Professor, Tufts University, and author of Science in the Private Interest "This book is a significant contribution to the field. In eleven substantive chapters it describes in well-documented and accurate detail cases in which science issues have developed and been subject to policy making. The book is strong on technical discussion of these scientific issues and does so in language a nonscientist can understand." --Barbara Redman, Dean and Professor, College of Nursing, Wayne State University Read more...
