& 8216;& 8230; an excellent insight into the social and & 8216;political& 8217; structure of the scientific world. Real Science makes interesting reading because it shows that scientific knowledge, rather than providing the idealized, clear and concise description of the world around us, is all too much an evolving product of the human mind.& 8217; Peter L. Hordijk and Eloise C. Anthony, Nature Cell Biology

& 8216;Any scientist interested in establishing a more constructive dialogue with the science and technology studies community would be well-advised to read these works.& 8217; Physics Today

& 8216;& 8230; for anyone wanting a detailed, realistic, well-rounded view of science, Ziman& 8217;s Real Science is your book.& 8217; David L. Hull, Nature .

Book Description

Unlike most other similar books, this systematic, carefully reasoned, non-technical analysis of the nature and significance of scientific knowledge opens the way to reconciliation in the & 8217;science wars& 8217;. By describing how academic scientists actually undertake research and communicate their findings, it shows that the philosophy, psychology and sociology of science are inextricably entwined, and that & 8216;realism& 8217; and & 8216;relativism& 8217; are just two sides of the same coin. The writing is well-informed, down-to-earth and lucid. .
