	Science and Technology Policy Yearbook: Chapter 27: US Science Policy and Science Advice, 1840-1878
		Although Henry never ceased thinking of himself as a research scientist and educator, thereafter his chief roles were those of science administrator and de facto advisor to both the executive and legislative branches of government on all aspects of science and technology.
		Although some Administrations were more friendly to science than others (the Fillmore Administration was particularly active scientifically), it was often the individual Secretary who decided the role of science in his area of responsibility.
		The standard history of science and the federal government is A. Hunter Dupree, Science in the Federal Government: A History of Policies and Activities to 1940 (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1957).

	Redeeming Culture: American Religion in an Age of Science by James Gilbert, excerpt
		The essence of true science, he concluded, was the study of "classified Knowledge" and its organization into patterns and hierarchies; all else was speculation.
		The highest pillar of truth, he wrote, was the agreement of science and religion on one essential proposition: mankind was the center and purpose of the universe.
		Science, in its public guise, adopted the scientific method as a means of achieving unity.

	Introduction
		The Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Database is an on-line, searchable compilation and extension of Science Fiction and Fantasy Reference Index 1878-1985, Science Fiction and Fantasy Reference Index 1985-1991, and Science Fiction and Fantasy Reference Index 1992-1995, including material located since publication of the last printed volume.
		Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Database is an inclusive tool, designed to cover all aspects of science fiction, fantasy, horror, supernatural and weird fiction.
		This energetic dialogue has had its supportive and its destructive aspects, and any history of science fiction that does not research and theorize as to the scope and effect of this force on the way we read science fiction is ignoring an extraordinary historical influence on the field.

	European Political Science -
		One issue is the fact that ‘the roots of political science are’ – as Guy Peters (1999: 1) observes – ‘in the study of institutions’.
		When a person comes to occupy a chair in political science for the first time in a country, for an interpretive historian of the discipline, the significance of the occasion goes beyond the mere fact of the appointment.
		One legacy of Tunaya for political science in Turkey is the legitimation of the discipline itself.
