Description

About the author

Robert N. Proctor is Professor of History and, by courtesy, of Medicine, at Stanford University.

Summary

Proctor lucidly demonstrates how value-neutrality is a reaction to larger political developments, including the use of science by government and industry, the specialization of professional disciplines, and the efforts to stifle intellectual freedoms or to politicize the world of the academy.
