The aim of Culture, Curiosity and Communication in Scientific Discovery is to try to shine a light through the mist of scientific research by way of examples taken from the sciences, social sciences and the humanities. The book maintains that the foundations of science are built on sand because theories come and go and the search for truth is elusive. Knowledge acquisition appears to be an end in itself, as though knowledge is some sort of commodity or object that can be traded. Nigel Sanitt explains that we have created a mythical objective world, where we pretend that opinions and values are generated by data alone and not by human beings. 650 0 $a Science $x Methodology. 650 0 $a Communication in science. 650 0 $a Science $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Discoveries in science. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190605021102.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=64475ED626B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
