商品簡介
T. D. Lysenko (1898-1976) was a Russian agronomist and head of a school that rejected classical genetics. He was championed by the new Soviet government, which officially condemned genetics until 1964. Ross-Hansen (history and philosophy of science, U. of Oslo) looks beyond the standard explanation of the phenomenon as tyrannical stupidity, and examines what about the nature of national science policy and the lure of creating a whole new science, leads scientists and officials in certain directions.
