Lysenko Effect The Politics Of Science

Ukrainian agronomist T D Lysenko (1898-1976) was the leader of an influential Soviet agrobiological school that rejected standard genetics and instead promoted a brand of pseudoscience that held sway among Soviet biologists for over twenty-five years. Based on archival materials not previously accessible, The Lysenko Effect is both a valuable contribution to the history of science and an instructive case study in the ways in which ideals of social progress can skew the results of objective science in any society.Roll-Hansen, Nils is the author of 'Lysenko Effect The Politics Of Science', published 2004 under ISBN 9781591022626 and ISBN 1591022622.
