Product Description

Review

"[A] searching look at how science interacts with & is influenced by other areas of human endeavor... . one thought-provoking discussion after another. ..." - Publishers Weekly


Product Description

Sweeping in scope, penetrating in analysis, and generously illustrated with examples from the history of science, this new and original approach to familiar questions about scientific evidence and method tackles vital questions about science and its place in society. Writing with verve and wry humour, in a witty, direct, and accessible style, Haack takes readers beyond the "Science Wars" to a balanced understanding of the value, and the limitations, of the scientific enterprise.
