Perhaps the contract we are replacing is not what we thought."—Susan Cozzens, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute "This book makes an original, theoretical argument about the creation of the National Science Foundation and addresses an important topic, one with current policy implications."—Alex Roland, Duke University
