Science, Money, and Politics: Political Triumph and Ethical Erosion
Autor Daniel S. Greenbergen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 mai 2003
Each year, Congress appropriates billions of dollars for scientific research. In this book, veteran science reporter Daniel S. Greenberg takes us behind closed doors to show us who gets it, and why. What he reveals is startling: an overlooked world of false claims, pork, and cronyism, where science, money, and politics all manipulate one another.
