Detailed, engaging, and beautifully written, the fourth edition of A History of Science in Society explores the many ways in which science and society interact.

Beginning with the birth of science in the ancient Greeks, the collection contains just about every major textual source in the growth of science, not shying away from recent controversies in the political and social place of contemporary science.
