Scientific governance in Britain, 1914-79 examines the connected
histories of how science was governed, and used in governance, in
twentieth-century Britain. During the middle portion of that
century, British science grew dramatically in scale, reach and
value. These changes were due in no small part to the two world
wars and their associated effects, notably post-war reconstruction
and the on-going Cold War. As the century went on, there were more
scientists - requiring more money to fund their research -
occupying ever more niches in industry, academia, military and
civil institutions. Combining the latest research on
twentieth-century British science with insightful discussion of
what it meant to govern - and govern with - science, this volume
provides both an invaluable introduction to science in
twentieth-century Britain for students and a fresh thematic focus
on science and government for researchers interested in the
histories of science and governance. This volume features a
foreword from Sir John Beddington, UK Government Chief Scientific
Adviser 2008-13. -- .
