{"product_id":"science-for-the-people-sigrid-schmalzer-9781625343185","title":"Science for the People: Documents from America's Movement of Radical Scientists","description":"For the first time, this book compiles original documents from Science for the People, the most important radical science movement in U.S. history. Between 1969 and 1989, Science for the People mobilized American scientists, teachers, and students to practice a socially and economically just science, rather than one that served militarism and corporate profits. Through research, writing, protest, and organizing, members sought to demystify scientific knowledge and embolden \"the people\" to take science and technology into their own hands. The movement's numerous publications were crucial to the formation of science and technology studies, challenging mainstream understandings of science as \"neutral\" and instead showing it as inherently political. Its members, some at prominent universities, became models for politically engaged science and scholarship by using their knowledge to challenge, rather than uphold, the social, political, and economic status quo. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHighlighting Science for the People's activism and intellectual interventions in a range of areas--including militarism, race, gender, medicine, agriculture, energy, and global affairs--this volume offers vital contributions to today's debates on science, justice, democracy, sustainability, and political power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sigrid Schmalzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1625343183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625343185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Massachusetts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2018","brand":"Sigrid Schmalzer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979421647103,"sku":"9781625343185","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b86019c6-860d-42ca-a3e5-6c84c4151725.jpg?v=1683245451","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/science-for-the-people-sigrid-schmalzer-9781625343185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
