Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 128 pages. The nuclear meltdown at Fukushima . the Fonterra botulism scare . the Chr istchurch earthquakes - in all these recent crises the role played by scientists has been under the spotlight. What is the first duty of scientists in a crisis - to the government, to their employer, or to the wider public desperate for inf ormation? And what if these different objectives clash?
