Early work by the Harvard historian of science with a misleading title. Rather than an introduction for laymen, it is a rejection of short-term utilitarian research illustrated with examples from the history of scientific discoveries. One reviewer wrote: "Dr. Cohen is also contributing to the self-consciousness of science." (Fleming, 1949). Useful products which may emerge from scientific research are the result of broader research programs.

Many of the men involved in the movement were collectors, not classifiers. Knowledge and growth, together with the tremendously important assistance rendered by European scientists, broadened their activities. Scientific organizations were developed and expanded; professional journals were conceived and published. The drama encompassed the work of a legion of Americans from the self-educated to those who possessed the prestige of European University training." / The author: "attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Brown University.

The Nobel Prize winner in 1905, "for his work on cathode rays", who later became a notably anti-semitic opponent of Einstein and supposed "Jewish science". More detail can be found in Beyerchen, Scientists under Hitler. Lenard's book was translated into English in 1933, but the odd exclusion of Jewish scientists was noted in a 1951 review; though at the same time Edwin Boring felt it worth mentioning as a serious work. But the obituary for him in Isis spared no feelings: the book "was singularly biassed. Lenard's genius was obscured by Nazi fanaticism.".
