Beyond providing an understanding of the conflict itself, this book presents the comments of two science and technology studies' (STS) \"founding fathers\" (Bernard Barber and John Ziman), a scientist's protest that STS has abandoned its original mission, a historian's view of the fluctuating social support for science, and a sociologist's analysis of the motives of \"anti-antiscience warriors.\" In addition, an STS statesman discusses ongoing structural changes in science, a sociologist sorts out different views of objectivity, and an STS veteran from the Science Wars brings us tales from the front and evaluates the meaning of recent events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors include Bernard Barber, Henry H.
