The business of science

Here, politics of science seems to be relevant topic as well. for example in Iran many scientists dont even have paid access to the scientific journals because of sanctions.
This covers not only so called "nuclear physics" related papers, but almost all other areas too. definitely this deepens the digital divide; and this is the case for many countries that dont necessarily think like US.

back to the "business of science", about the case of over simplified educational books; we recently were reading an american book for one of our courses in TLU. teacher already warned us that it may get too obvious sometimes! and he added that "apparently this is the way americans like to do it".
after reading some chapters of the book nearly all of the students agreed that the book could fit in half the pages as it is now, and loose no educational content. then we thought: yes maybe "this is the way americans like to do it"! but after reading "The business of science" part of the wiki, I am thinking perhaps deeper reasons are involved.

same thing happened in Iran about learning aid books for schools, they become almost like a table:
"if question is this, then answer will be that..."
they dont leave any space for student to reason and drive the logical conclusions from the scientific fact. causing the problem of  "educated! people" with minimal reasoning power, unable to adapt solutions to new problems.
