When it comes to any current scientific debate, there are more than
two sides to every story. Controversies in Science and Technology,
Volume 4 analyzes controversial topics in science and
technology-infrastructure, ecosystem management, food security, and
plastics and health-from multiple points of view. The editors have
compiled thought-provoking essays from a variety of experts from
academia and beyond, creating a volume that addresses many of the
issues surrounding these scientific debates. Part I of the volume
discusses infrastructure, and the real meaning behind the term in
today's society. Essays address the central issues that motivate
current discussion about infrastructure, including writing on the
vulnerability to disasters. Part II, titled "Food Policy," will
focus on the challenges of feeding an ever-growing world and the
costs of not doing so. Part III features essays on chemicals and
environmental health, and works to define "safety" as it relates to
today's scientific community. The book's final section examines
ecosystem management. In the end, Kleinman, Cloud-Hansen, and
Handelsman provide a multifaceted volume that will be appropriate
for anyone hoping to understand arguments surrounding several of
today's most important scientific controversies
