Reviews

Creativity is a virtue that the norms of science have been shaped to harness. Like all institutions, science succeeds only imperfectly in channeling creativity into fruitful advance and application. Martin's book is the first to address the way in which creative scientific talents interact with the professional norms of applied and pure research to produce its more praiseworthy scientists and their achievements, as well as those whose creative efforts circumvent and fall afoul of science's rules of conduct. This is a book that makes the topic of professional ethics more than just an obligatory subject. It makes it an interesting one.
