Morton Hunt gives us the first serious overview of this threat to behavioral and social science research. He illustrates precisely how scientific research has been subjected to political attack...using in-depth case histories and background discussion of the conflicting social forces involved...Hunt reviews the nature-nurture debate, biological contributions to gender differences, conservative opposition to sex research in the schools, the debate over the controlled drinking approach to alcoholism...and other cases. He argues that beyond the specific projects targeted, the most important thing threatened is the social valuation of scientific freedom. The belief that it is permissible and laudable to obstruct research is neo-Luddite, obscurantist, and anti-intellectual..."--with a bonus offer--;
