Kohler, author of "Partners in Science: Foundation Managers and Natural Scientists, 1900-1945".

These essays examine the Foundation's work in the region, its reception by local governments, and its legacy. The contributors are Marcos Cueto, Steven Williams, Armando Solorzano, Deborah Fitzgerald, Joseph Cotter, and Thomas F. Glick.
