Reader's note

Add to or start your Pelican collection with this 1948 edition of The Scientific Attitude by C. H. Waddington. 'There are many books about bits of science, about electrons, or vitamins, or relativity. This is a book about science as a whole. Is science just a collection of tricks which happen to come off? The author says No! It is an attitude to the world, a way of living. Science, administered by unscientific men, has turned the medieval bear-garden into a modern factory. But science, if given its head, is not just cold mechanical efficiency; its attitude is tolerant, friendly and humane. It has already become the dominant inspiration of human culture, so that modern poetry, painting and architecture derive their most constructive ideas from scientific thought. It is the only activity which to-day is vital and vigorous enough to lead man forward along the path evolution has marked out for him.’ Just one of the many classic, collectible, vintage books available on our online used bookstore.
