- catalog abstract ""The theme of this book was chosen because of great concern with the worldwide decrease in interest in the natural sciences. The image of these sciences as dull, uninspiring, masculine, environmentally unfriendly, and very technical is an important reason. Historical context is a great help in the discussion of these modern perceptions." "The book will be of interest to a broad spectrum of readers, from those in universities to the general public. It can be used as a textbook in undergraduate courses in the history of science and in science and society. In addition, the individual chapters can stand on their own and be studied in courses in the various sciences, and in philosophy."--Jacket.".
