A distinguished physiscist with a rare gift for making the most complicated sciencetific ideas comprehensible, Roger Newton gives us a guided tour of the intellectual structure of physical science. From there, he conducts us through the understanding of reality engendered by modern physics, the most theoretically advanced of the sciences. With its firsthand look at models, facts, and thoeries, intuition, and imagination, the use of analogies and metaphors, the importance of mathematics (and now, computers) and the "virtual" reality of the physics of micro-particles, The Truth of Science truly is a practicing scientist's account of the foundations, processes, and value of science.
