  • Ethics and Science

    An Introduction

  • Are We All Scientific Experts Now?

    par Harry Collins ...

    Quantum Social Change for a Thriving World

    par Karen O'Brien ...
    Every single one of us matters in the process of transforming our future - but do we really believe that?

  • Can Science Fix Climate Change?

    A Case Against Climate Engineering

    par Mike Hulme ...
    Collection series New Human Frontiers
    Climate change seems to be an insurmountable problem. Political solutions have so far had little impact. Some scientists are now advocating the so-called 'Plan B', a more direct way of reducing the rate of future warming by reflecting more sunlight back to space, creating a thermostat in the sky.In this book, Mike Hulme argues against this kind of hubristic techno-fix. Drawing upon a distinguished ... En savoir plus

We must ... En savoir plus

  • Science In Public

    Communication, Culture, And Credibility

    par Jane Gregory, Steven Miller ...
    Does the general public need to understand science? And if so, is it scientists' responsibility to communicate? Critics have argued that, despite the huge strides made in technology, we live in a "scientifically illiterate" society--one that thinks about the world and makes important decisions without taking scientific knowledge into account.

  • Why Society is a Complex Matter

    Meeting Twenty-first Century Challenges with a New Kind of Science

    par Philip Ball ...
    Collection series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Society is complicated. But this book argues that this does not place it beyond the reach of a science that can help to explain and perhaps even to predict social behaviour.
