In the first serious history of the biotechnology industry, Martin Kenney examines its growth and structure, describes the role of university departments of basic and applied biology, and shows how the relationship undermines the educational role of the university."Kenneys work is the first major effort to provide a detailed analysis of the birth of the new industrial field of biotechnology and its impact on universities. . . . Kenneys book abounds in rich description and valuable conjectures. It also provides important insights into the structural and institutional aspects of the biotechnological revolution. It is informed by an extensive literature including reports form the financial community, universityindustry contracts, trade journals, personal interviews, and company prospectuses."Sheldon Krimsky, American Scientist"A fine description of a vital new field. It deserves wide readership."David Silbert and Duncan Newhauser, New England Journal of Medicine"The author raises important questions about whether the character of this universityindustrial complex adequately allows for the kind of public discussion and participation necessary to insure consideration of social, economic, and moral issues in the development of this important new technology."Harvard Educational Review"Bears upon questions of fundamental importance to science, academia, and society and provides valuable documentation of the magnitude of the actions already taken and the multitude of participants involved."Robert L. Sinsheimer, Nature
