Andrew Jewett is a specialist in United States history and the political and cultural meanings of science.

“Erudite and truly original. Jewett explains why so many cultural leaders came to deplore the increasing incursions of science into the realm of values, especially after World War II. A pioneering book.”―Ronald L. Numbers, author of The Creationists

Science, Democracy, and the American University (2012)

“Jewett's book is a fine exploration of a little-known but important attempt to find in science values powerful enough to rein in capitalism and create a more perfect democratic society.” Daniel J. Wilson, The Journal of American History
