Product Description
Review
Professor Collinis brilliant and well documented introduction . D. Anjaneyulu, The Hindu

Product Description
The notion that our society, its education system and its intellectual life, is characterised by a split between two cultures - the arts or humanities on one hand, and the sciences on the other - has a long history. But it was C. P. Snows Rede lecture of 1959 that brought it to prominence and began a public debate that is still raging in the media today. This reissue of The Two Cultures and its successor piece, A Second Look (in which Snow responded to the controversy four years later) has a new introduction by Stefan Collini, charting the history and context of the debate, its implications and its afterlife. The importance of science and technology in policy run largely by non-scientists, the future for education and research, and the problem of fragmentation threatening hopes for a common culture are just some of the subjects discussed. Probably the most important statement on the role of science in society yet available. Discovery One cannot fail to take Snow seriously or to recognise his commitment to the cause of peace, intelligent action and human betterment. Scientific American Obvious authority and moral intelligence. The New Yorker Effective because of its obvious generosity of mind and basic sanity. The Sunday Times
