Sommario/riassunto

This A-to-Z reference features 120-150 entries that explore the nexus of politics and science, both in the United States and in U.S. interactions with other nations. The essays, each by experts in their fields, examine: health, environmental, and social/cultural issues relating to science and politics; concerns relating to government regulation and its impact on the practice of science; key historical and contemporary events that have shaped our contemporary view of how science and politics intersect.
