A seminal work from Nobel Prize winning doctor and biologist Sir John Boyd Orr and others which explores the role and implications of science and scientific research on social, ethical and economic considerations. The volume also explores the role of Government in exploiting scientific advances for the good of society. A strong advocate for improving public health and nutrition, Boyd’s essay on Nutritional Science and State Planning is the core of this work.
