Shows age, but very good condition. The discovery of the process of reverse transcriptase has been one of the major breakthroughs on the road to the understanding and prevention of cancer. The history of this event provides raw material for the authors, who use this as the basis for an analysis of how the structure of the biomedical community helps, or hinders, the discovery process. The authors examine the interplay between research laboratories and organizations, academic institutions, and government agencies. The questions they raise, on the nature of research policy (in the USA), the biases in funding and resource allocation, and the organizational structure of research laboratories, will be of interest to all those concerned with the flow and utilization of scientific kn.

′...The Cancer Mission represents a considered attempt to tackle a range of complex problems, and it certainly deserves a wide readership amongst historians, philosophers, and sociologists. At the very least, the research questions raised by Studer and Chubin can be seen as a challenge to historians of science to re-evaluate the core assumptions of their own work.′ -- British Journal for the History of Science, March 1983
