      abstract = {How the NSF became an important yet controversial patron  for the social sciences, influencing debates over their  scientific status and social relevance. In the early Cold  War years, the U.S. government established the National  Science Foundation (NSF), a civilian agency that soon  became widely known for its dedication to supporting  first-rate science. The agency's 1950 enabling legislation  made no mention of the social sciences, although it  included a vague reference to "other sciences."  Nevertheless, as Mark Solovey shows in this book, the NSF  also soon became a major--albeit controversial--source of  public funding for them.},
