"The handbook is designed for policy planners and business school students. Recommended."—J. S. Schwartz, CHOICE "The editors have assembled a distinguished, interdisciplinary group of scholars who carefully and expertly map out a broader research agenda on this important topic. The end result is a lucid and insightful volume. This is a 'must read' for anyone interested in the public policy implications of innovation."—Donald S. Siegel, Dean and Professor, School of Business, University at Albany, SUNY "Interested in the 'science' of science policy? Read this Handbook. Contributing academicians and practitioners provide their perspectives, questions, and considerations on the theoretical underpinnings; data required; budget process; political design rules; policy analogues; and international context of this emerging field of study. It'll get you thinking."—Connie K. N. Chang, former Chief of Staff and Research Director to the Under Secretary for Technology, former Technology Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce "In this volume, many of the nation's foremost science policy scholars make the case for a more rational decision process to guide federal research funding, arguing that 'science for science policy' is a prerequisite. It is not clear that all federal policymakers are open to a rational process. But, the arguments in this book are, indeed, compelling and will certainly propel discussions on this matter."—Neal Lane, Rice University, Former Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy and of the National Science Foundation
