The Scientific Endeavor: A Primer on Scientific Principles and Practice, Paperback/Jeffrey a. Lee

Descriere & specificații

"The Scientific Endeavor" is an introduction to what science is and how it is done. Many college courses are good at presenting particular disciplines (Biology, Chemistry, etc.), but not the details of science itself. Science literacy for educated citizens and for professional scientists requires an understanding of science itself. Written at an introductory college level, this book provides on overview of what science is, the philosophy of science, how research is done, how scientists interact, ethics and misconduct, scientific thinking, and pseudoscience. It has been used as a supplementary textbook in introductory science classes, as the main text in classes about science, and as background reading to spark discussions in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses. About the Author: Jeffrey A. Lee is a professor at Texas Tech University, where he teaches courses in physical geography, environmental science, and science education. His main research interests are soil erosion by wind and dust storms. He is Co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal Aeolian Research.
