Not very much science is included in this book, it is more of an assessment of the indirect influences of science and scientists, so much of it might be classed as sociology. The author takes a fairly heavily left-wing view of things, which I found to be the only irritating thing about this book, but this is understandable due to the time in which this book was written. I didn't find the essays to be as stimulating as those of somewhat comparable writers like Koestler, but there were some interesting opinions to do with art, which would never have occurred to me, though I think he was correct about them.
This book might be interesting for the scientist, as it describes the world from the view of a scientist, but it might also be interesting for a non-scientist who is interested in learning how various aspects of the world are affected by science.… (altro)
