Sommario/riassunto

The Lysenko affair was perhaps the most bizarre chapter in the history of modern science. For thirty years, until 1965, Soviet genetics was dominated by a fanatical agronomist who achieved dictatorial power over genetics and plant science as well as agronomy. "A standard source both for Soviet specialists and for sociologists of science."-American Journal of Sociology "Joravsky has produced . . . the most detailed and authoritative treatment of Lysenko and his view on genetics."-New York Times Book Review

Sommario/riassunto

New Threats to Freedom  In the twentieth century, free people faced a number of mortal threats,ranging from despotism, fascism,and communism to the looming menace of global terrorism.
