Críticas:
This volume is a controversial and important contribution that helps clarify some of the reasons why we, as a culture, are so deeply conflicted about a major, if not the major force driving the modern world.--James Gilbert "author of Redeeming Culture: American Religion in an Age of Science " "There is much of value in Science Talk and Daniel Patrick Thurs should be commended for bringing to light the process whereby scientific controversies have evolved over time. It is an engaging study, one that will benefit all those interested in science and its place in American history." --QUEST
Reseña del editor:
Discoveries in the sciences are occurring constantly contributing to the changing definition of the term 'science' itself. Daniel Patrick Thurs examines what these controversies say about how we understand science now and in the future. Drawing on his analysis of magazines, newspapers, journals and other forms of public discourse, Thurs describes how science-originally used as a synonym for general knowledge-became a term to distinguish particular subjects as elite forms of study accessible only to the highly educated.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Science news is met by the public with a mixture of fascination and disengagement. On the one hand, Americans are inflamed by topics ranging from the question of whether or not Pluto is a planet to the ethics of stem-cell research. But the complexity of scientific research can also be confusing and overwhelming, causing many to divert their attentions elsewhere and leave science to the experts.Whether they follow science news closely or not, Americans take for granted that discoveries in the sciences are occurring constantly. Few, however, stop to consider how these advancesand the debates they sometimes lead tocontribute to the changing definition of the term science itself. Going beyond the issue-centered debates, Daniel Patrick Thurs examines what these controversies say about how we understand science now and in the future. Drawing on his analysis of magazines, newspapers, journals and other forms of public discourse, Thurs describes how scienceoriginally used as a synonym for general knowledgebecame a term to distinguish particular subjects as elite forms of study accessible only to the highly educated. Discoveries in the sciences are occurring constantly contributing to the changing definition of the term 'science' itself. This title examines what these controversies say about how we understand science. It describes how science became a term to distinguish particular subjects as elite forms of study accessible only to the highly educated.
