Description: Science as Service is a collection of essays that traces the development of the land-grant colleges established by the Morrill Act of 1862, and documents how their faith and efforts in science and technology gave credibility and power to these institutions and their scientists.
Review Quotes: "Science as Service is nothing less than a remarkable collection of first-rate essays on topics at once wonderfully diverse and intellectually complementary to one another. Individually and collectively, the essays greatly enlarge our knowledge of and appreciation for the impact of land-grant institutions on American society."
