"A splendid series of pocketable guides to issue-politics rigorously clear."The Guardian
Can we trust scientists? Can we develop science and technology to improve, not destroy, human life and the planet? The No-Nonsense Guide to Science addresses these crucial questions. Considering a range of subjects as diverse as genetic engineering, biotechnology, medicine and military science, Jerry Ravetz argues that understanding science as a processand sometimes a businessinvolving funding, research, reputations and publication gives us the best basis for effective action in the future.
The latest volume in the acclaimed No-Nonsense series is an invaluable primer for all those involved in scientific study, research or commercial exploitation.
