"Never has the world been as rich in scientific knowledge as it is today. But what
are its main sources? In accessible and engaging fashion, Global Mega-Science examines
the origins of unprecedented growth of knowledge production over the past hundred
and twenty years. David Baker and Justin Powell integrate sociological and historical
approaches with unique scientometric data to argue that at the heart of this phenomenon
is the unparalleled cultural success of universities and their connection to science:
the university-science model. Considering why science is so deeply linked to (higher)
educational development, the authors analyze the accumulation of capacity to produce
research--and demonstrate how the university facilitates the emerging knowledge society.
The age of global mega-science was built upon the symbiotic relationship between higher
education and science, especially the worldwide research collaborations among networked
university-based scientists. These relationships are key for scholars and citizens
to understand the past, future, and sustainability of science"
