The aim of this book is to explore science and technology from the
viewpoint of creating new knowledge, as opposed to the
reinterpretation of existing knowledge in ever greater but
uncertain detail. Scientists and technologists make progress by
distinguishing between what they regard as meaningful and what they
consider as secondary or unimportant. The meaningful is dynamic;
typically, the less important is static. Science and technology
have made a major contribution to the culture and to the standard
of living of our society. From antiquity to the present day, the
most distinguished scientists and technologists have been thinkers,
experimenters and persons willing and able to challenge "the
obvious". Technology develops products and processes based on the
breakthroughs of science. If technologists fail to steadily upgrade
their skills, tools and methods, they will only be as good as their
last design, risking obsolescence. Using practical examples and
case studies, this book documents the correlations existing between
science and technology, and elucidates these correlations with
practical applications ranging from real-life situations, from
R&D to energy production. As it is a salient problem, and a
most challenging one to our society, power production has been
chosen as a major case study. The holistic approach to science and
technology followed by this text enhances the ability to deliver
practical results. This book is intended for students and
researchers of science, technology and mathematical analysis, while
also providing a valuable reference book for professionals. Its
subject is one of the most debated problems of mankind.
