Some people claim that evolution is "just a theory." Do you know
what a scientific theory really is? Just a theory is an overview of
the modern concepts of science. A clear understanding of the nature
of science will enable you to distinguish science from
pseudoscience (which illegitimately wraps itself in the mantle of
science), and real social issues in science from the caricatures
portrayed in postmodernist critiques.
Prof. Ben-Ari's style is light (even humorous) and easy to read,
bringing the latest concepts of science to the general reader. Of
particular interest is his analysis of the terminology of science
(fact, law, proof, theory) in relation to the colloquial meaning of
these terms.
Between chapters are biographical vignettes of scientists -- both
familiar and unfamiliar -- showing their common commitment to the
enterprise of science, together with a diversity of backgrounds and
personalities.
This accessible, informative, and comprehensive work will give lay
readers a good grasp of real science.
