Conclusions -- Appendix: Canadian and Comparative Science and Technology Data -- References -- IndexThe past twenty years have seen considerable shifts and struggles in 'government science' - that is, in the way the state funds, supports, regulates, conducts and uses scientific and technological activity. Focusing on federal labs and agencies, Strategic Science in the Public Interest explores how these labs have been located within, and often buried by, the larger commercially-focused federal innovation agenda.G. Bruce Doern and Jeffrey S. Kinder examine four labs whose mandates deal with the Alberta oil sands, environmental technologies, wildlife research, and mining and metals, respectively. The authors use these cases to explain why a better middle-level approach to analysis is needed for strategic public interest-centred government science. They illustrate the importance of understanding the variety, as well as the similarity, of federal science and technology labs and agencies, and of instituting policies that reflect this diversity. The growing importance of Related Science Activities (RSA) is also explored, as well as the core trade-offs between commercial and public goods science in their mandates and their internal capacities.Scientific bureausCanadaLaboratoriesCanadaScience and stateCanadaElectronic books.Scientific bureausLaboratoriesScience and state352.7/450971Doern G.

These vital transportation facilities are locally owned and managed and civic leaders and boosters have made them central to often expansive economic development dreams, including the construction of architecturally significant buildings. However, other metropolitan residents have paid a high price for the expansion of air transportation, as battles over jet aircraft noise resulted not only in quieter jet engine technologies, but profound changes in the metropolitan landscape with the clearance of both urban and suburban neighborhoods. And in the wake of 9/11, the US commercial airport has emerged as the place where Americans most fully experience the security regime introduced after those terrorist attacks. .Palgrave Studies in the History of Science and Technology,2730-9738United StatesHistoryScienceHistoryCities and townsHistorySociology, UrbanUS HistoryHistory of ScienceUrban HistoryUrban SociologyUnited StatesHistory.ScienceHistory.Cities and townsHistory.Sociology, Urban.US History.History of Science.Urban History.Urban Sociology.900Bednarek Janet Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut946324BOOK9910254775303321Airports, Cities, and the Jet Age2137983UNINA
