This book explores the development of hybrid corn, the history of
eugenics, human genetics, the nature-nurture debate, the origins of
the Marxian concept of proletarian science, the shift in the
meaning of "fitness" in evolutionary theory, the practice of normal
science in Nazi Germany, and the making and selling of science
textbooks. While the topics are diverse, a common theme unites them
-- each explores links between biological science, social power,
and public policy.
