Riassunto:

In A History of Science in Society, Ede and Cormack trace the history of the changing place of science in society and explore the link between the pursuit of knowledge and the desire to make that knowledge useful.

The fourth edition of this bestselling textbook brings the narrative right up to the present day by incorporating the COVID-19 pandemic. The edition also adds content on Indigenous and non-western science as well as five new "Connections" case study features, including one on the scientist and poet Omar Khayyam. The text is accompanied by 100 images and maps and a colour insert showing off key moments in the history of science. Essay questions, chapter timelines, a further readings section, and an index provide additional support for students.

Informazioni sull'autore: Andrew Ede is an adjunct professor in the Department of History and Sociology at the University of British Columbia Okanagan.
Lesley B. Cormack is Principal and Deputy Vice Chancellor at the University of British Columbia Okanagan.
