Brown Cloth. Zustand: Very Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First. Brown Cloth. Very Fine/Near Fine. First. Hardback. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 374 pages; 7 p. index and 8 p. of reference books for additional reading; the book is designed as a college text; "I had in mind the average second year Honours student of…Physics, chemistry or biology, who is very ignorant indeed of the barest facts or notions concerning science as a social activity."- (from the Preface) "But to think constructively about these matters, it is necessary to know a little bit about the nature of science as a human activity. It is not sufficient to understand the discoveries that scientists have made .; we must also learn to see scientific research as an integral part of the modern way of life. Rational debate on the political and moral issues concerning science and its place in society should be staged against some backcloth of facts and agreed principles. The aim of this book is to sketch out a background for such debates."- (from Ch.1) The author is Melville Wills Professor of Physics in the University of Bristol. "This book is an enlarged version of a course of ten lectures given weekly for one term in the Faculty of Science at Bristol University from 1971 onwards." Many illustrations in text, including drawings, photos, charts and graphs.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. John Ziman's The Force of Knowledge: The Scientific Dimension of Society offers a broad examination of modern science as a social institution and of the ways scientific knowledge interacts with society. Ziman traces the historical development of scientific research as a profession, the growth of s…cientific technology from the useful arts, invention and technical innovation, and the emergence of "Big Science," while also examining the economic, political, and ethical dimensions of scientific research. Topics include the origins and character of scientific institutions, scientific communication, authority and influence within science, styles of research, technological invention, the economics of scientific research, science as a cultural force, the social sciences, science and war, and the social responsibilities of scientists. Illustrated throughout with historical photographs, drawings, diagrams, and reproductions, the book was designed as an accessible introduction to the history, sociology, philosophy, and social implications of science. Condition: Very Good softcover copy. Binding remains sound and pages appear clean and generally well preserved. Covers show moderate shelf and handling wear, including rubbing and light surface scratching, edge and corner wear, and creasing/bumping, particularly at the lower front corner and along the spine extremities. Page edges show mild age toning and handling wear. No significant writing, highlighting, or ownership markings observed in the photographed portions. A solid, complete reading and reference copy. Ziman was an influential physicist and scholar of the sociology and philosophy of science, particularly noted for his work on the organization of scientific research and the relationship between scientific knowledge and society. The Force of Knowledge reflects the growing twentieth-century scholarly interest in science not merely as a body of discoveries but as a professional, cultural, economic, and political institution. It remains useful for readers interested in the history and sociology of science, science policy, research ethics, and the relationship between scientific institutions and the wider public. Carefully packed and shipped in a sturdy box with appropriate protective materials. USPS Media Mail available within the United States unless otherwise requested. International shipping available at cost. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks policies. SCI 2b.
