Over 90 readings, most short excerpts from longer works, provide a broad range of perspectives on the role and place of science in society. They are arranged chronologically beginning with the pre-Socratic origins of natural philosophy and progressing to the late 20th century. The anthology could be used in courses on the history or philosophy of science. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
