Description

This volume is unique and comprehensive in its description of science and the scientist, the role of science in our lives, and the nature of the most important achievements in science. It is the only book of its kind to thoroughly deconstruct so many aspects of scientific culture and its interaction with the larger society in which it is embedded. Written by a working scientist, the volume bridges the gap between the scientific and the nonscientific communities by relating broad social and philosophical issues to science, and by connecting science and its methods to modern human society.
