The classic case for why government must support science—with a new essay by physicist and former congressman Rush Holt on what democracy needs from science today Science, the Endless Frontier is recognized as the landmark argument for the essential role of science in society and government’s responsibility to support scientific endeavors. First issued when Vannevar Bush was the director of the US Office of Scientific Research and Development during the Second World War, this classic remains vital in making the case that scientific progress is necessary to a nation’s health, security, and prosperity. Bush’s vision set the course for US science policy for more than half a century, building the world’s most productive scientific enterprise. Today, amid a changing funding landscape and challenges to science’s very credibility, Science, the Endless Frontier resonates as a powerful reminder that scientific progress and public well-being alike depend on the successful symbiosis between science and government. This timely new edition presents this iconic text alongside a new companion essay from scientist and former congressman Rush Holt, who offers a brief introduction and consideration of what society needs most from science now. Reflecting on the report’s legacy and relevance along with its limitations, Holt contends that the public’s ability to cope with today’s issues—such as public health, the changing climate and environment, and challenging technologies in modern society—requires a more capacious understanding of what science can contribute. Holt considers how scientists should think of their obligation to society and what the public should demand from science, and he calls for a renewed understanding of science’s value for democracy and society at large. A touchstone for concerned citizens, scientists, and policymakers, Science, the Endless Frontier endures as a passionate articulation of the power and potential of science.

Excerpt from Annual Reports, President and Treasurer, 1924-1926 But if we would thus record the memory of these, her valiant and arduous years as our physician, we would likewise record our abiding sense of the woman who was never content to live without loveliness. Graciously endowed as she was by nature with beauty of being, she enhanced it by her own creative love for all things of life and health, for color, for light, for music. Hers was a fresh and radiant presence, a self constantly revitalized by vigorous outdoor hours, by keen winds, by birds, by the gardens and flowers that bloomed inevitably wherever Dr. Raymond lived her personal life. In her a strong, sane, beautiful womanhood was richly revealed. In her we have lost one who not only healed but who made us rich by her being. In her, our comrade and our friend, we have lost what will not soon be found again. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
