The book provides a concise, historically based, non-mathematical treatment of modern physics relevant to societal issues. It challenges readers to examine the problems we face (and their own beliefs) in light of the scientific method.
With a narrative structure, Science and Society explains the scientific process and the power it brings to dealing with the natural world.
