Hardback. Michael Strevens, Penguin Books Ltd. Rich with tales of discovery from Galileo to general relativity, a stimulating and timely analysis of how science works and why we need it It is only in the last three centuries that the formidable knowledge-making machine we call modern science has transformed our way of life and our vision of the universe - two thousand years after the invention of law, philosophy, drama and mathematics. Why did we take so long to invent science? And how has it proved to be so powerful?

He was born in New Zealand and has been writing about the philosophy of science for twenty-five years. He lives in New York. Hardback.…
