Science: general issues
Paperback. Shows that many of our understandings about scientific thought can be corrected once we realize just how "unnatural" science is. Quoting scientists from Aristotle to Einstein, the book argues that scientific ideas are, with rare exceptions, counter-intuitive and contrary to common sense. Num Pages: 208 pages. BIC Classification: PDA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 126 x 0. Weight in Grams: 170. Good clean copy with some minor shelf wear
