A History of the Modern Fact : Problems of Knowledge in the Sciences of Wealth and Society

Rating:
Summary: This is an interesting read.
Review: Some of the more fascinating and thought-provoking books I've read have dealt with subjects that many take for granted. This book is no exception. As the human race braces itself for a new era in modern science (i.e., gene therapy and cloning), a book which illuminates a profound turning point in this process is a must-read. Additionally, any reader of pop-literature would enjoy the section of the book which theorizes about the role that fact-based knowledge influenced government.
