Book Synopsis Who Rules in Science? by : James Robert Brown
Book excerpt: Brown chronicles engagements in the science wars—from the “Sokal affair” to angry confrontations over the nature of evidence, the possibility of objectivity, and the methods of science—to show how the contested terrain is science, but the prize is political: Whoever wins the science wars will have an unprecedented influence on our governance.
