Book excerpt: For the first time, this book compiles original documents from Science for the People, the most important radical science movement in U.S. history. Between 1969 and 1989, Science for the People mobilized American scientists, teachers, and students to practice a socially and economically just science, rather than one that served militarism and corporate profits. Through research, writing, protest, and organizing, members sought to demystify scientific knowledge and embolden "the people" to take science and technology into their own hands. The movement's numerous publications were crucial to the formation of science and technology studies, challenging mainstream understandings of science as "neutral" and instead showing it as inherently political. Its members, some at prominent universities, became models for politically engaged science and scholarship by using their knowledge to challenge, rather than uphold, the social, political, and economic status quo. Highlighting Science for the People's activism and intellectual interventions in a range of areas -- including militarism, race, gender, medicine, agriculture, energy, and global affairs -- this volume offers vital contributions to today's debates on science, justice, democracy, sustainability, and political power.

Book excerpt: During the 1950s, leading American scientists embarked on an unprecedented project to remake high school science education. Dissatisfaction with the 'soft' school curriculum of the time advocated by the professional education establishment, and concern over the growing technological sophistication of the Soviet Union, led government officials to encourage a handful of elite research scientists, fresh from their World War II successes, to revitalize the nations' science curricula. In Scientists in the Classroom , John L. Rudolph argues that the Cold War environment, long neglected in the history of education literature, is crucial to understanding both the reasons for the public acceptance of scientific authority in the field of education and the nature of the curriculum materials that were eventually produced. Drawing on a wealth of previously untapped resources from government and university archives, Rudolph focuses on the National Science Foundation-supported curriculum projects initiated in 1956. What the historical record reveals, according to Rudolph, is that these materials were designed not just to improve American science education, but to advance the professional interest of the American scientific community in the postwar period as well.

It provides at most an overview of how the practical sciences were required and how they were utilized--with which and for what by whom"--Preface (pg. vii).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Men of Science: A Biographical Directory His biographical directory of American Men of Science was begun as a manuscript reference list for the Carnegie Institution of Washington, which made an appro priation of toward the clerical and office expenses. It is hoped that the publica tion will be a contribution to the organization of science in America. There is here given for the first time a fairly complete survey of the scientific activity of a country at a given period. As a reference book for the field it covers, it may be even more useful in academic circles than Minerva or Who's Who in America. But the chief service it should render is to make men of science acquainted with one another and with one another's work. There scarcely exists among scientific men the recognition of common interest and the spirit of cooperation which would help to give science the place it should have in the community. It is fully as important for the nation as for men of science that scientific work should be adequately recognized and supported. We are consequently in the fortunate position of knowing that whatever we do to promote our own interests is at the same time a service to the community and to the world. There are included in the directory the records of more than four thousand men of science, and it is believed that the entries are tolerably complete for those in North America who have carried on research work in the natural and exact sciences. Some are admitted who are supposed to have advanced science by teaching, by administrative work, or by the preparation of text-books and compilations. There are also some whose work has been chiefly in engineering, medicine or other applied sciences, and a few whose work is in education, economics or other subjects not commonly included under the exact and natural sciences. But the book does not profess to cover these fields. The names are included because they are supposed to represent work that has contributed to the advancement of pure science - the term being used in the narrower sense - or because they are found in the membership lists of certain national societies. All the members of the following societies who filled in the blank sent them are included: The National Academy of Sciences, fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Society of Naturalists, the Association of American Anatomists, the As sociation of American Geographers, the Association of American Physicians, the Ameri can Association of Pathologists and Bacteriologists, the Astronomical and Astrophysical Society of America, the Botanical Society of America, the Geological Society of America, the American Mathematical Society, fellows of the American Ornithologists' Union, the American Philosophical Association, the American Physical Society, the American Physi ological Society, the American Psychological Association, the American Society of Bac teriologists, the Society for the Promotion of Agricultural Science, the Society for Experi mental Biology and Medicine, the Society of Horticultural Science, the Society for Plant Morphology and Physiology, and the American Society of Zoologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at the destructive history of science-for-profit, including its toll on the US pandemic response, by the author of A People’s History of Science. Despite a facade of brilliant technological advances, American science has led humanity to the brink of interrelated disasters. In The Tragedy of American Science, historian of science Clifford D. Conner describes the dual processes by which this history has unfolded since the Second World War, addressing the corporatization and the militarization of science in the US. He examines the role of private profit considerations in determining the direction of scientific inquiry—and the ways those considerations have dangerously undermined the integrity of sciences impacting food, water, air, medicine, and the climate. In addition, he explores the relationship between scientific industries and the US military, discussing the innumerable financial and human scientific resources that have been diverted from other critical areas in order to further military aggrandizement and technological development. While the underlying problems may appear intractable, Conner compellingly argues that replacing the current science-for-profit system with a science-for-human-needs system is not an impossible utopian dream—and the first step to a better future is grappling with the mistakes of the past.
