| Description: |
New science for a new administration from the premier liberal think tank. |
| Synopsis: |
This is a CAP (Center for American Progress) branded book--not an anthology. CAP develops science policy for the Democratic presidential candidates and is one of Washington, DC's most influential public policy think tanks. Science Next is written for a general audience though it will impress the science nerds and policy wonks. This book is their chance to promote science literacy among the public. They plan to promote it heavily. An antidote to the Bush administration's positions on issues such as stem cell research, global warming, and the teaching of evolution, Science Next proposes a completely new approach to government science engagement. Science Next's authors come from a broad range of backgrounds and include Vint Cerf of Google, Mark Lloyd of the Leadership Council on Civil Rights, Kathy Hudson of the Genetics and Public Policy Center, and best-selling science journalist Chris Mooney. Science Next covers topics like the role of innovation in the 21st century economy, the transformation of medicine and public health through new technologies, the transition to a low-carbon economy, evidence-based approaches to national security, and cultivating a culture of science through education and communication. Science Next proceeds from the proposition that scientific inquiry is the finest expression of human excellence, that it is a crucial source of human flourishing, a critical engine of economic growth, and must be dedicated to the common good. |
