Reviews

<p> Outstanding Title! Martino, a senior research scientist, provides a well-documented, compelling analysis of the increasing influence of politics in the funding of scientific research. This is a seminal contribution to the literature on the politics of science, and it will enlighten scientists, policymakers, and concerned citizens alike... The study is highly readable... Analyses are supported with excellent endnotes, chapter bibliographies, numerous charts and graphs, and a clear presentation of data. Academic and public library collections. <p> --P. H. Melanson, Choice
