Increasingly marginalised by postwar developments and the reforms of civil science in the 1960s, the Society was at risk of resting on its laurels. Instead, it found ways of exploiting its unique networks of scientific talent to promote science. Creating opportunities for outstanding individuals to establish and advance research careers, influencing policymaking at national and international levels, and engaging with the public outside the world of professional science, the Society gave fresh expression to the values that had shaped its long history. Through unparalleled access to the Society's modern archives and other archival sources, interviews with key individuals and extensive inside knowledge, Peter Collins shows how the Society addressed the challenges posed by the astounding growth of science and by escalating interactions between science and daily life. 588 0 Print version print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 Royal Society (Great Britain)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79127772|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 610 27 Royal Society (Great Britain)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/538339 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Science|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85118553|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79023147-781|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1108176 650 7 SCIENCE|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCollins, Peter, 1952-|tRoyal Society and the promotion of science since 1960|z9781107029262|w(DLC) 2015029275|w(OCoLC)912704183 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1093134|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
