PDF-[BOOK]-Competing with the Soviets: Science, Technology, and the State in Cold War America

For most of the second half of the twentieth century the United States and its allies competed with a hostile Soviet Union in almost every way imaginable except open military engagement The Cold War placed two opposite conceptions of the good society before the uncommitted world and history itself and science figured prominently in the picture Competing with the Soviets offers a short accessible introduction to the special role that science and technology played in maintaining state power during the Cold War from the atomic bomb to the Human Genome ProjectThe hightech machinery of nuclear physics and the space race are at the center of this story but Audra J Wolfe also examines the surrogate battlefield of scientific achievement in such diverse fields as urban planning biology and economics explains how defensedriven federal investments created vast laboratories and research programs and shows how unfamiliar worries about national security and corrosive questions of loyalty crept into the supposedly objective scholarly enterpriseBased on the assumption that scientists are participants in the culture in which they live Competing with the Soviets looks beyond the debate about whether military influence distorted science in the Cold War Scientists choices and opportunities have always been shaped by the ideological assumptions political mandates and social mores of their times The idea that American science ever operated in a free zone outside of politics is Wolfe argues itself a legacy of the ideological Cold War that held up American science and scientists as beacons of freedom in contrast to their peers in the Soviet Union Arranged chronologically and thematically the book highlights how ideas about the appropriate relationships among science scientists and the state changed over time.

PRELUDE TO THE COLD WAR Both Germany and Japan were decimated by the war The Potsdam Conference was held by the Allies in Potsdam, Germany to work out the details of their joint occupation of Germany. 2020NONREPRESENTED EMPLOYEES OF THE JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL AND THE JOHNS HOPKINS HEALTH SYSTEM CORPORATION In the nineteenth century, science and technology developed a close and continuing relationship. The most important advancements in physics—the science of energy and the theory of the electromagnetic field—were deeply rooted in the new technologies of the steam engine, the telegraph, and electric power and light. Bruce J. Hunt here explores how the leading technologies of the industrial age helped reshape modern physics.This period marked a watershed in how human beings exerted power over the world around them. Sweeping changes in manufacturing, transportation, and communications transformed the economy, society, and daily life in ways never before imagined. At the same time, physical scientists made great strides in the study of energy, atoms, and electromagnetism. Hunt shows how technology informed science and vice versa, examining the interaction between steam technology and the formulation of the laws of thermodynamics, for example, and that between telegraphy and the rise of electrical science.Hunt’s groundbreaking introduction to the history of physics points to the shift to atomic and quantum physics. It closes with a brief look at Albert Einstein’s work at the Swiss patent office and the part it played in his formulation of relativity theory. Hunt translates his often-demanding material into engaging and accessible language suitable for undergraduate students of the history of science and technology.
