The average rating for Fifth Branch Science Advisers As Policymakers based on 2 reviews is 3 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-05 00:00:00 Luis Aguirre A strong thesis and analysis of scientific advising in the American regulatory landscape, though often at an unbearable density. Jasanoff's writing style can be overwhelmingly rigid and dry, leaving the reader to check the same sentence twice. While stylistically challenging, the overall format of the book and arguments made within are worthwhile, especially for those interested in science policy in the United States; Jasanoff details the role of advisory committees and their utility in maintaining objectivity and regulatory agency credibility.
