This Gifted Age: Science and Technology at the Millennium

By John C. Gibbons

The essays in this collection of John Gibbons's non-technical writings show both the limiting and liberating influence of government on technological research and development. Gibbons addresses the issues involved in the government's directing as well as supporting technological and scientific advance; he discusses the ways in which government and science join in serving society; and he provides a look behind the scenes of the making of science policy.
