Reseña del editor:

A work that explores the interaction between the practice of science and public life.

In this penetrating work, Lewis Pyenson and Susan Sheets-Pyenson identify that major advances in science stem from changes in three distinct areas of society: the social institutions that promote science, the sensibilities of scientists themselves and the goal of the scientific enterprise.

Servants and Interpreters of Nature begins by examining the institutions that have shaped science: the academies of Ancient Greece, universities, the growth of museums of science, technology and natural history, botanical and zoological gardens, and the advent of modern specialized research laboratories.

It is equally comprehensive when it analyses changing scientific sensibilities – for example, the relationship between religion and science, or the interplay between the growth of democracy and the growth of scientific knowledge.

The final section of this book is on the changing nature of the scientific enterprise and considers how the goals of science have evolved.

It is an indispensable account of how science, perhaps above all other human endeavours, has shaped, and been shaped by, the world we inhabit today.

Contraportada:

'The Fontana History of Science in Society' explores the interaction between scientific practice and public life from Antiquity to the present. The authors show how, in Asia, Europe and the New World, advances in science are closely allied to changes in three distinct areas of society: the institutions that sustain science; the moral, religious, political and philosophical sensibilities of scientists themselves; and the goal of the scientific enterprise. The book also traces how the bodies that shape scientific tradition and guide innovation have acquired their authority. The final section of the book considers how scientific goals have changed and examines the relationship between scientists, militarists and industrialists in modern times. 'The Fontana History of Science in Society' is an indispensable and penetrating account of how science, perhaps above all other human endeavours, has shaped, and been shaped by, the world that we inhabit today.
