Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Rescuing Science from Politics debuts chapters by the nation's leading academics in law, science, and philosophy who explore ways that the law can be abused by special interests to intrude on the way scientists conduct research. The high stakes and adversarial features of regulation create the worst possible climate for the honest production and use of science especially by those who will ultimately bear the cost of the resulting regulatory standards. Yet an in-depth exploration of the ways in which dominant interest groups distort the available science to support their positions has received little attention in the academic or popular literature. The book begins by establishing non-controversial principles of good scientific practice. These principles then serve as the benchmark against which each chapter author compares how science is misused in a specific regulatory setting and assist in isolating problems in the integration of science by the regulatory process. Concern about the corruption of science by special interests is widespread at the highest levels of academia and elite institutions. This book examines the troublesome trends that threaten scientists and their research in the areas of environmental quality, protection of natural resources, drug and food safety, and global climate change.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Concern about the corruption of science by special interests is widespread at the highest levels of academia and such elite institutions as the National Academy of Sciences. Yet the vast majority of scientists and other participants in policymaking are only dimly aware of these developments. Rescuing Science from Politics is intended to alert these specialists, as well as the public at large, to troublesome trends that threaten scientists and their research in the areas of environmental quality, protection of natural resources, drug and food safety, and global climate change.
