Summary:By investigating the past, the contributors to this book hope to better prepare us to discern ideological abuse of science when it occurs in the future. Alexander and Numbers bring together 14 experts to examine the varied ways science has been used and abused for nonscientific purposes from the 15th century to the present day.
