Advances in science and technology have not only altered the way we live, work, travel and communicate, but have also phenomenally affected the economic and social structures, human attitudes, health, politics, and belief systems among others. While this has benefited us in innumerable ways, it has also brought with it new challenges. While looking at the history and development of the scientific revolution, the book not only discusses its impact on mankind, but also the promises and problems that it has brought in its wake.
