Uncertain Science . . . Uncertain World

The book Uncertain Science Uncertain World by geophysicist Henry Pollack descibes in clear language aimed at a general audience the puzzling world of uncertainty of science. It arises when scientists have more than one answer to a problem or disagree amongst themselves. He argues that urcentainity should be recognised as a stimulus for creativity, problem-solving and scientific progress rather than taking itas an excuse! Pollack explores the nature of uncertainity in different fields and also shows how non-scientists can apply their everyday experiences to evaluate and understand uncertain science.By giving examples from every day life, Uncertain Science Uncertain World helps the reader to evaluate uncertainty from their own view point to and find out how science actually works.
