Science, the Endless Frontier
Author: Vannevar Bush
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 069120165X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
The classic case for why government must support science—with a new essay by physicist and former congressman Rush Holt on what democracy needs from science today Science, the Endless Frontier is recognized as the landmark argument for the essential role of science in society and government’s responsibility to support scientific endeavors. First issued when Vannevar Bush was the director of the US Office of Scientific Research and Development during the Second World War, this classic remains vital in making the case that scientific progress is necessary to a nation’s health, security, and prosperity. Bush’s vision set the course for US science policy for more than half a century, building the world’s most productive scientific enterprise. Today, amid a changing funding landscape and challenges to science’s very credibility, Science, the Endless Frontier resonates as a powerful reminder that scientific progress and public well-being alike depend on the successful symbiosis between science and government. This timely new edition presents this iconic text alongside a new companion essay from scientist and former congressman Rush Holt, who offers a brief introduction and consideration of what society needs most from science now. Reflecting on the report’s legacy and relevance along with its limitations, Holt contends that the public’s ability to cope with today’s issues—such as public health, the changing climate and environment, and challenging technologies in modern society—requires a more capacious understanding of what science can contribute. Holt considers how scientists should think of their obligation to society and what the public should demand from science, and he calls for a renewed understanding of science’s value for democracy and society at large. A touchstone for concerned citizens, scientists, and policymakers, Science, the Endless Frontier endures as a passionate articulation of the power and potential of science.

U.S. International Book Programs, 1981
Author: John Young Cole
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Books and reading
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
Before launching any major projects in the international book field, the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress decided to inventory what is currently being done in this area by both government and private agencies. This booklet presents brief descriptions of international book programs conducted by 15 U.S. government agencies and commissions, 2 intergovernmental organizations, and 15 U.S. private organizations. An address and contact person is provided for each institution. Because there is less activity, and especially less U.S. government activity, in the book field than there was 15 years ago, an introductory essay on "The Book Crisis and the Developing World" by John B. Putnam is included to put the inventory into a historical perspective. Putnam also notes problems that interfere with the free flow of technical books to and among developing countries, including foreign exchange restrictions, the inadequacy of promotional and bibliographic tools, delay in delivery, illiteracy, the necessity for translation into local languages, and the high price of books. Appendices describe the activities of two important but defunct organizations: Franklin Book Programs, Inc. (1952-78) and the U.S. Government Advisory Committee on International Book and Library Programs (1962-77). (esr).
