Editorial Reviews

Review

Hackerman's views on the dependency of mankind upon science and technology is juxtaposed with Ashworth's different opinions to provide a fine personal survey of the problems scientists and society face as governments change perspectives and goals - and thus, funding. The importance of scientific experimentation and freedoms is explored in a fine dialogue between the two individuals, recommended for college-level courses in science. -- Midwest Book Review
