This is part of the series covering the "Golden Age" of science, an era when science seemed to be at the forefront of human activity and scientists were making great and exciting advances, both applied and theoretical. This volume simultaneously discusses the most significant post-war scientific breakthroughs and addresses the move towards increased specialization in all scientific branches, the role of computers in research, and threats to the environment for which scientific advance is frequently blamed.
