Philosophy Of Science - Samir Okasha - Popular Science

Description: What is science? Is there a real difference between science and myth? Is science objective? Can science explain everything? This Very Short Introduction provides a concise overview of the main themes of contemporary philosophy of science. Beginning with a short history of science to set the scene, Samir Okasha goes on to investigate the nature of scientific reasoning, scientific explanation, revolutions in science, and theories such as realism and anti-realism. He also looks at philosophical issues in particular sciences, including the problem of classification in biology, and the nature of space and time in physics. The final chapter touches on the conflicts between science and religion, and explores whether science is ultimately a good thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars I cannot believe it, 12 May 2009
This review is from: Car Science (Hardcover)
Car Science
I have searched for a book that would answer my childrens sensible questions on how cars actually work for several years. This book answers all of their questions (and more) in a way that both I and they understand. A brilliant book.

4.0 out of 5 stars How it works, Cars., 1 Jun 2009
This review is from: Car Science (Hardcover)
Not sure that the aims of teaching 8-9 year olds about car engines have been met. Or that a picture of 170 horses necessarily gives the idea of 170 HP.

But very much a fun book. I bought it for our local primary school when one little boy whose reading I was monitoring said he was interested in books that gave factual information. The book he had wasn't too interesting so I asked what things was he interested in? He said Cars and Space.

There were no books in the school library about cars. There's one now.
