SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
For some years, the 'Science Wars' have raged in academe and in the press. Unlike the usual academic tempest in the teapot, the stakes in this controversy are high. They standing of science in our culture turns on the outcome. Will science continue to occupy a position of authority or will it be demoted to just one of many competing 'voices'? Will scientific ideas of objectivity, rationality, and disinterested inquiry continue to be honored or will they be rejected as oppressive illusions? This book uses major debates about dinosaurs to shed light on these keenly important questions.
