The development of an American science establishment began early in the twentieth century when the federal government began to invest in a national scientific infrastructure. How did this complex marriage between science and government occur? This work is an overview of the science establishment and its relationship with the federal government.

Alfred K. Mann, professor emeritus of high energy and particle physics at the University of Pennsylvania, worked on the Manhattan Project as a pre-doctorate and has first-hand experience with many of the scientists who developed the first atomic bomb. He received the Rossi prize in astrophysics for participating in the discovery of neutrinos in Supernova 1987A. His book Shadow of a Star tells the story of that discovery.
