This book completes a scientific life trilogy of books following on
from the Hows (i.e. skills) and the Whys is now the Whats of a
scientific life. Starting with just what is science, then on to
what is physics, what is chemistry and what is biology the book
discusses career situations in terms of types of obstacles faced.
There follow examples of what science has achieved as well as plans
and opportunities. The contexts for science are dependencies of
science on mathematics, how science cuts across disciplines, and
the importance of engineering and computer software. What science
is as a process is that it is distinctly successful in avoiding or
dealing with failures. Most recently a radical change in what is
science is the merger of the International Council of Scientific
Unions and the International Social Sciences Council. Key Features:
Dissects what is science and its contexts Provides wide ranging
case studies of science and discovery based directly on the
author's many decades in science The author has outstanding
experience in mentoring and career development, and also in
outreach activities for the public and students of all ages The
world of science today involves a merger of 'the sciences' and the
'social sciences'
