Uncommon sense - Alan H Cromer

Uncommon Sense is an innovative and lively examination of science and its historical development as an "unnatural" mode of thought.
This book looks at why science developed in the West and what its implications have been for our society.
This book will also challenge many assumptions about the nature and role of science in our world.
Professor of Physics, Alan Cromer, examines not only the history of science and its unique mode of thought but also the waythat science is taught and suggests ways of restructuring the curriculum.Uncommon Sense is an illuminating look at science, filled with provocative observations.
Whether challenging Thomas Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions, or extolling the virtues of Euclid's Elements, Alan Cromer is always insightful, outspoken, and refreshingly original.
