Science today is an arena in which actors compete for scarce resourcesof prestige, of intellectual turf, of government support, of student interest, of corporate involvement, and of public acclaim. The chemical sciences offer a particularly rich area of study when Page xvi seen in this waythanks to their long history, their ubiquity, their commercial significance, and their involvement with government and medicine (no monarch could ignore someone able to transmute base metals into gold, or to offer the elixir of lifeeither in the Renaissance or in the National Institutes of Health).
