Title: What is science, how it developed, and how it differs from technology
Review: This is a down-to-earth, clear introduction to the scientific way of thinking.I agree with evolutionist R. Dawkins's advice that the book should be read regardless of your personal views about science and scientists.I believe Wolpert's book is an excellent introduction to science because it clarifies how technology and science are different and yet feed on each other;and enable the advance of our knowledge of the real world.What impressed me the most is the author's separation of "common-sense beliefs" from scientific thinking. And how serendipity arises from hard work, educated guesses and "inspiration";the willingness to take a leap into the darkness and advance predictions that can be tested in the laboratory or by other observations and measurements (e.g., in cosmology).
