Science Next: Innovation for the Common Good from the Center for American Progress

Science Next

After eight years during which science and innovation took a backseat to politics and ideology, the Obama administration has ushered in a new era. In that spirit, Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Moreno and former CAP Senior Fellow Rick Weiss teamed up with the Bellevue Literary Press to produce Science Next: Innovation for the Common Good from the Center for American Progress. This is the informed citizen’s essential guide to science policy: an accessible compendium of essays on how public knowledge and understanding of science as an engine of progress will reveal solutions to today’s most pressing problems, including climate change, national security, and the need for access to affordable health care. Read the introduction, “Time for Science to Reclaim Its Progressive Roots,” or order the book online.
