The Common Sense of Science

We are surrounded by the products of science - washing machines, bottles of aspirin, public opinion surveys: and most people take them very much for granted. Only slowly is the layman becoming aware of the new methods of thought which lie behind the discoveries of science. A great deal of our ignorance is a result of the jargon that surrounds science. It is Dr Bronowski's achievement in this book to translate science into a language which can be understood by an intelligent person with no scientific knowledge.
