Science is a dominant theme in our culture. Since it touches almost every facet of our life, educated people need at least some with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general of science as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to attain if one knows something about the things that excite and frustrate the scientist.
This book is written for the intelligent student or layperson whose acquaintance with science is superficial; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty storehouse of dried facts; for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of gadgets. The book can be used to a course in any science, to accompany any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world, or independently of any course -- simply to provide a better understanding of science. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader perspective on scientific attitudes and a more view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do.
