Rollo H. Beck: Aka the “Birdman”
摘要
There is little doubt that AMNH staffers Chapman, Spinden, Cherrie, Crampton and Eastman volunteered for, and undertook singularly important roles for the U.S. government during World War I. But there were several other American Museum scientists who found themselves similarly involved in gathering intelligence for the U.S. government under differing circumstances. A brief examination of their experiences is warranted to complete the current discussion of the elision between scienceScience and politics.
