Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are

James Morris Webb argues that the black man was the father of
civilization, born in the land of Egypt, and that the different
branches of science and art were simply transmitted to other races,
which, as the ages have rolled by have only been enlarged, and to
some extent improved upon. A seminal text, The Black Man was widely
read within the Garvey Movement, the Rastafarians, and other early
African identity and Black Nationalist groups.
Science touches all of our lives, every day, and should be a
constant source of wonder and fascination - not something confined
to the classroom. This book is for anybody who feels curious about
ideas in science but lacks a strong background in the subject.
Getting to Grips with Science draws on the author's twelve years of
experience in leading experimental discussion groups, where people
from all walks of life come together to pose questions in the
presence of a science teacher. Bursting with testimonials from real
people about their everyday experiences of science, the book acts
as a gentle introduction for anyone wishing to find out more about
the natural world. Drawing on practical examples and discussions
that range from hormones to tectonic plates, it helps the reader
understand any difficulties they may have encountered with science
learning in the past and points to fresh ways of approaching the
subject in the future.Concentrating on the themes that
non-scientists are genuinely curious about, the book illustrates
how we can begin to explore scientific ideas, first through our
initial understanding of the world around us and then with the help
of a trained tutor who explains the underlying scientific concepts.
For those wishing to make a start on exploring science afresh, the
book offers practical information about the books, museums,
websites, podcasts, courses and events available to support them.
Wider reflection on the experience of adults engaging with science
through these discussion groups offers food for thought on the
nature of science education in general.Andrew Morris has been
running science discussion groups in informal settings in central
London since 2002. Originally a science teacher in sixth-form,
further and adult education, he has also worked as a senior manager
in colleges and national bodies concerned with educational
research.
