The No-Nonsense Guide To Science by Jerry Ravetz
Can scientists be trusted? And can we control science and technology in such a way as to deliver good? Clearing away the myths, The No-Nonsense Guide to Science addresses these crucial questions. Ranging over subjects as diverse as genetic engineering, biotechnology, medicine and military science, Jerry Ravetz demonstrates that seeing science as a process involving funding, research, reputations, publication and social and cultural concerns, gives readers the best basis for effective action in future.
Jerome Ravetz is author of the classic study Scientific Knowledge and its Social Problems. He is a founder member of the Council for Science and Society and a pioneer in the area of science and safety. Now an independent scholar and consultant working on problems of management of uncertainty in risks and environmental issues.
