The development of modern science, and its increasing impact on our lives and cultures, is one of the great stories of our time. So, understanding--and coming to terms with--the institution of modern science should be an integral part of education. In The Many Faces of Science, Leslie Stevenson and Henry Byerly masterfully, and painlessly, provide the basic information and the philosophical reflection students need to gain such understanding. The authors make good use of case study methods, and they introduce us to dozens of figures from the history of science. Stevenson and Byerly provide an elementary sketch of the development of science through the lives of its practitioners, and they examine the often mixed motives of scientists, as well as the conflicting values people bring to science--and to their perceptions of its impact on society. The authors also explore the relationship between scientific practice and political and economic power.

Accessible and rich with anecdotes, personal asides, and keen insight, The Many Faces of Science is the ideal interdisciplinary introduction for nonscientists in courses on science studies, science and society, and science and human values. It will also prove useful as supplementary reading in courses on science and philosophy, sociology, and political science. In this second edition of The Many Faces of Science, the authors have updated topics that they explore in the first edition, and they present new case studies on subjects such as HIV and AIDS, women in science, and work done in psychology and the social sciences. The authors also extend their discussion of science and values, in addition to revising their study of science and technology to emphasize changes in scientific practice today.

Praise for the previous edition:


Review:

Reasonable Text for Non-Majors Science Course

I have used this book and the previous edition for about five years for a one-semester course for non-majprs. I have emphasized both the history and values aspects of the case studies. I find that a case study approach works well for business, social sciences, and education majors. I also supplement this book with videos that discuss the Wright Brothers and powered flight, the Manhattan Project, and Andrew Wiles proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, etc. I don't always agree with some of the negative perspectives of science and scientists expressed by the authors but try to let the student decide how to interpret the various cases covered in this book.
