Our earlier book, How We Know: An Exploration of the Scientific
Process, was written to give some conception of what the scientific
approach is like, how to recognize it, how to distinguish it from
other approaches to understanding the world, and to give some
feeling for the intellectual excitement and aesthetic satisfactions
of science. These goals represented our concept of the term
"scientific literacy." Though the book was written for the general
reader, to our surprise and gratification it was also used as a
text in about forty colleges, and some high schools, for courses in
science for the non-scientist, in methodology of science for social
and behavioral sciences, and in the philosophy of science. As a
result we were encouraged to write a textbook with essentially the
same purpose and basic approach, but at a level appropriate to
college students. We have drawn up problems for those chapters that
would benefit from them, described laboratory experiments that
illustrate important points discussed in the text, and made
suggestions for additional readings, term papers, and other
projects. Throughout the book we have introduced a number of
chapters and appendices that provide examples of the uses of
quantitative thinking in the sciences: logic, math ematics,
probability, statistics, and graphical representation."
