Trade Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. First Paperback Edition. 192 Pages Indexed. No defects noted. Interior text pages are near flawless. This is a personal selection of over 1200 scientific quotations including graffiti, lines of song and proverbs together with the more recognised forms of quotation not only from scientists but… from artists, poets, philosophers, theologians, politicians and other miscellaneous mortals. Scientists have often been reproached for their apparent unfamiliarity with the rest of our cultural inheritance. Inasmuch as science represents one way of dealing with the world, it does tend to separate its practitioners from the rest. Being a scientist resembles membership of a religious order and a scientist usually finds that he has more in common with a colleague on the other side of the world than with his next-door neighbour. Scientists do live in the real world and share in developing and unifying its culture. Many scientists, especially biologists, are able to communicate more widely than to their professional colleagues their sense of wonder at the workings of nature. This collection of quotations is intended to show the wholeness of our culture by demonstrating that scientists contribute to the humanities, and that from Chaucer to Auden, the great humanists have also been concerned with science in all its aspects. A quotation is a polished prefabricated unit of thought or discourse which has many connotations and associations built in to it. Quotations are, in effect, thoughts embedded in memorable phraseology and polished by use.
