Reviews
Goldsmith, director of the International Science Policy Foundation and editor of Science and Public Policy, addresses society's need for professional analysis of scientific methods and goals along with the costs and benefits derived from the work of scientists. Criticizing science is not the same as merely reporting science; rather it involves developing and communicating an overall outlook and a cohesive set of objectives. Criticism, Goldsmith asserts, can promote a public understanding of science as well as an appreciation of its impact. He proposes the need for a new profession of science critic in order to bridge the gap between scientists and the public, and to help bring science and technology under public control. Suitable for specialists and general audiences. Hilary D. Burton, Lawrence Livermore National Lab., Livermore, Cal.
