ReviewThe book provides a stimulating glimpse of how committed members of different interest groups perceive the place of science in contemporary life. Contemporary SociologyProduct DescriptionThe combative metaphor of Oscience warsO has taken on a predominant position within the collective conscious, from being featured on the programs of scientific meetings to being splashed across the pages of leading national magazines and newspapers. Some in the scientific community perceive their profession to be under siege by members of the academic left, radical environmentalists, religious fundamentalists, ecofeminists, and others. This book, based on indepth interviews with sixty members of groups with alleged OantiscienceO attitudes, examines how pervasive and uniform these critiques are. The research is designed to examine two conflicting hypotheses: 1) that antiscience attitudes reflect a general cynicism about all major social institutions, and 2) that antiscience views are not broadly based but are reflective, instead , of the particular interests of a given social grouping. In the final analysis, Perrucci and Trachtman dig at the root of the socalled Oscience warsO by presenting evidence that the wars are not the product of an overarching suspicion of the institutions at the core of our society, but are instead the product of organized interest groups, which shape the attitudes and beliefs of their respective members.About the AuthorRobert Perrucci, at Purdue University, is Presidentelect of the Society for the Study of Social Problems. Leon E. Trachtman is presently Professor Emeritus of Communication at Purdue.
