In the early Cold War years, the U.S. government established the National Science Foundation (NSF), a civilian agency that soon became widely known for its dedication to supporting first-rate science. The agency's 1950 enabling legislation made no mention of the social sciences, although it included a vague reference to "other sciences." Nevertheless, as Mark Solovey shows in this book, the NSF also soon became a major--albeit controversial--source of public funding for them.Social sciencesResearchUnited StatesHistoryResearchUnited StatesFinanceHistoryEndowment of researchUnited StatesHistorySCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY/History of ScienceSOCIAL SCIENCES/GeneralSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY/GeneralSocial sciencesResearchHistory.ResearchFinanceHistory.Endowment of researchHistory.300.72/073Solovey Mark1964-846830OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910557424003321Social science for what2822382UNINA
