Figures. Boxes. Notes. A Note on the Text. Index. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Beyond Sputnik: U.S. Science Policy in the 21st Century is a book that offers a comprehensive survey of national science policy looking at how policies for science are made, the government entities that make these policies, and the impact federal policies have on the conduct of science. In addition to the book, this website serves as a supplementary tool for students, teachers, researchers and practitioners of science policy. Over the course of the last century, numerous societal advances have been driven by progress in science. Devastating diseases have been conquered, our quality of life and national security have been enhanced, and new economic and intellectual frontiers have been opened. Yet, the public has generally treated this progress as something that just happened, without recognizing that it is, in fact, largely the result of a sustained federal commitment to support science through science policies enacted immediately after World War II and in response to the Soviet launch of Sputnik. Likewise, scientists and engineers often understand little about the policy processes that determine how they conduct their research and, in fact, have tended to avoid becoming involved the policy making process for science. Beyond Sputnik explains for scientists, policymakers and the public why science policy is important and how science policy is made., Books<
