Brown Cloth. Condizione: Very Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First. Brown Cloth. Very Fine/Near Fine. First. Hardback. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 374 pages; 7 p. index and 8 p. of reference books for additional reading; the book is designed as a college text; "I had in mind the average second year Honours student of Physics, chemistry or biology, who is very ignorant indeed of the barest facts or notions concerning science as a social activity."- (from the Preface) "But to think constructively about these matters, it is necessary to know a little bit about the nature of science as a human activity. It is not sufficient to understand the discoveries that scientists have made .; we must also learn to see scientific research as an integral part of the modern way of life. Rational debate on the political and moral issues concerning science and its place in society should be staged against some backcloth of facts and agreed principles. The aim of this book is to sketch out a background for such debates."- (from Ch.1) The author is Melville Wills Professor of Physics in the University of Bristol. "This book is an enlarged version of a course of ten lectures given weekly for one term in the Faculty of Science at Bristol University from 1971 onwards." Many illustrations in text, including drawings, photos, charts and graphs. Codice articolo 001318
