Creating the Cold War University - The Transformation of Stanford

Informationen zum Autor Rebecca S. Lowen is currently Visiting Scholar in History at the University of California! San Diego. Klappentext "Lowen studies one particular case, carefully and with much new information, then suggests a general interpretation that is more penetrating than anything we have had before on the subject."—Spencer R. Weart, author of Nuclear Fear "The scholarship is superior; Lowen has been both imaginative and rigorous. She deals with a place limited in size but with problems that are not limited, and she is able to show the connections between the specific and the general."—Sigmund Diamond, author of Compromised Campus Zusammenfassung The "cold war university" is the academic component of the military-industrial-academic complex. This work discusses the role played by university administrators in making their universities dependent upon military foundation and industrial patronage.
