| Abstract | This volume discusses the fundamental myths that have guided the formulation of scientific policy for the past half century that have done much to serve the professional and political interests of the scientific community, but often fail to advance the interests of society as a whole even as it is meant to help solve such major issues as global warming, national resource depletion, and economic inequality. |
