Description
The Knowledge Machine: How an Unreasonable Idea Created Modern Science A stimulating analysis of how science works and why we need it, exploring the history of modern science from Galileo to general relativity. Michael Strevens reveals how the scientific enterprise has transformed our way of life and vision of the universe over the past three centuries. The book provides a radical answer to the question of why science took so long to develop, and how its power can be harnessed in times of crisis. This elegant investigation into the nature of the scientific method is richly illustrated with wonderfully told incidents from the history of natural science.
