The impact society has on the progress and acceptance of new
science - and vice versa - is greater than most people think. For
instance, over the past five years, events indicate that citizens'
views have helped change the focus of the research and development
carried out by both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and by the
Environmental Protection Agency. Likewise, citizen actions have
influenced the direction of the activities of organizations such as
the World Bank in their efforts to improve agriculture and living
conditions in the developing nations of the world. The new
""Science and Society"" set not only highlights the ""what"" of
science, but also the ""why,"" the ""how,"" and the ""who."" Each
volume provides an accessible, authoritative view of the history
and current state of a particular issue. With a focus on humanizing
science, this set brings each subject - from air pollution to
nuclear power to natural medicines - to life by showing students
all the factors that motivate research and revealing how scientists
compete and collaborate with one another. By exploring the
connections between science and society, especially in
controversial areas, each book illustrates both how society
supports science and how science in return supports society. Each
volume includes an introduction providing an overview of the topic,
complete chapter-by-chapter coverage, dozens of black-and-white
photographs and line illustrations, a helpful index and glossary,
lists of websites and suggestions for further reading that allow
readers quick access to detailed information.
