The Progress of Science, first published in 1934, was originally
intended to help the interested reader develop their understanding
of the natural sciences as they stood in the period leading up to
the Second World War. This intention was predicated on the belief
that the spirit of science can only have a positive influence on
human society, and that when enough people are sufficiently
scientifically-minded the problems of civilisation will be resolved
through the steady application of scientific principles. Covering
the full range of the distinct disciplines- physics, chemistry,
biology - this collection offers a fascinating window into the
attitudes towards science at a time when the full extent of its
potentially catastrophic potential was about to be realised across
the world.
