A History of Science in Society: A Reader

Over 90 readings, most short excerpts from longer works, provide a broad range of perspectives on the role and place of science in society. They are arranged chronologically beginning with the pre-Socratic origins of natural philosophy and progressing to the late 20th century. The anthology could be used in courses on the history or philosophy of science. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
