Cloth. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Paul Sharp (illustrator). First Edition. In this far-reaching book the author shows just how we have come to our present science-centered society. The vision of science has now possessed the soul of man for several centuries; starting at an abstract idea it has developed deeply material and practical forms that we use in every aspect of our lives. As with all great ideas, its devotees tend to take its dogmas for granted without thinking them through afresh; because science makes something possible we feel we must do it. But this immense power which science excerses over our minds can be controlled by the quality of our human imagination.
