In this fascinating volume, scientist and teacher James S. Perlman
shows us that science is not a dry, mechanistic process but a
dynamic interplay between human beings and their surroundings,
embodying their attempts to understand, anticipate, and cope with
natural events. The interactive nature of science requires the use
of our minds, imaginations, and sense-extending apparatus, such as
telescopes and microscopes. We are reminded that scientists do not
merely observe; they form ideas and images which they then project
back upon nature to explain what they see. And these ideas and
images are themselves influenced by the limitations of the observer
as well as by prevailing social, intellectual, and technological
conditions. In Science without Limits, Dr. Perlman takes us on an
extraordinary voyage through history as he demonstrates the ways in
which science developed as a distinctly human and evolving
enterprise from early man to the present. On our journey Perlman
introduces us to the great figures of Western science and how their
discoveries modified existing ways of viewing the world.
