Vendeur : Borkert, Schwarz und Zerfaß GbR, Berlin, Allemagne
Etat : Wie neu. XII, 211 Seiten. Broschiert. Two major changes have characterised science in the twentieth century. Firstly, there has been its rapid growth. Indeed, most scientists who have ever lived are alive today. Secondly- and central to the theme of this book - science is no longer mainly an academic activity carried on in universities. Industry will soon be the largest single employer of scientists. Such changes have generated a series of problems. There is growing anxiety lest the bureaucratisation of science threaten creativity. And, during the period of the researches reported in this study, there has been much debate about the drift from science and the failure of industry to recruit the best graduates. Such are the issues with which this book deals.Does science attract first-born children who have experienced early isolation ? Do universities produce 'academics' who find the prospect of industry uncongenial ? Does industry fail to make the most of the skills and capacities of its highly qualified graduates ? These are some of the issues investigated in this study, which reports on some pioneering researches carried out by the authors in this country.This book should be widely read by all in industry, government and universities who are concerned with the changing role of science, and particularly by those who are involved in the administration of research and development. But it also makes a major contribution to the sociology of science, offering an invaluable guide to the extensive literature in this rapidly growing field of interest, and so should find a place in courses in industrial sociology, and, indeed, in any studies of contemporary industrial societies in which science plays so great a part. Stephen Cotgrove, Professor of Sociology at Bath University of Technology, is author of Technical Education and Social Change and The Science of Society. Steven Box, Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Kent, has written articles on the education and employment of scientists, and on sociological theory. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
