Science is many things: a way of thinking and an activity of
individuals in the laboratory; a highly structured institution that
recruits, instructs, and regulates its members; a sensitive,
interactive, and integrated segment of modern culture and society.
Professor Frederick Grinnell presents in this valuable text and
survey a clear and comprehensive introduction to all these aspects
of science from the point of view of the scientist. Using many
examples, drawn primarily from the biomedical sciences but also
from everyday life, the author provides the ideal general
Introduction to science studies. He goes beyond narrow
considerations of methodology to consider broader questions of
science as attitude, process, institution, and social force. The
text is enhanced by the author's familiarity with several
philosophical traditions and the light they throw on the scientific
attitude. The text Is straightforward, free of jargon, and
completely accessible to beginning students as well as to
scientists and laypersons. Professional scholars will also profit
from the book's unique blending of the various perspectives on
science.
