Description: "Never has the power of scientific research to solve existing problems and uncover new ones been more evident than it is today. Yet there exists widespread ignorance about the larger contexts within which scientific research is carried out. For example, the point of view some scientists adopt in their work or in their social commitments may become clearer id considered in light of the opposing views held by other scientists." "This is a theme Gerald Holton addresses in his new collection."--Jacket.
