He also includes numerous examples and case studies to illustrate his points and engage readers in the discussion.Overall, Borderlands of Science is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that will appeal to anyone interested in science, philosophy, and the nature of knowledge. It offers a fresh and insightful perspective on some of the most pressing questions facing humanity today and challenges readers to think deeply about their own beliefs and assumptions.This book is not a history of science; neither is it a history of magic; it is an attempt to evaluate the influence on civilization of both science and superstition, knowledge and belief, and to consider critically those borderland phenomena which the scientist rarely investigates notwithstanding that they occur in the natural world which he shares with the unreasoning multitude.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
