Item description from seller

Cover has very light wear at front corners, small number on bottom edge, otherwise without flaw. 5.5 X 8.5" 193 pages. This is a book about the ways in which science is influenced by culture. It highlights the misleading images that have distorted our view of the history of life; it explores areas of darkness and forgetting in scientific research, and the use of inappropriate mechanistic metaphors in our understanding of biological systems and it considers the neglect of useful research that does not fit the current intellectual fashion in science. A wonderful joint venture by five of the most gifted scientific writers in the world: Oliver Sacks * Jonathan Miller* Stephen Jay Gould * Daniel J. Kevles * R.C. Lewontin.
