✦ Synopsis
A collection of non-technical scientific articles of merit primarily intended to supplement an advanced course in composition for students of science and technology. Its main theme is to define and illustrate the scientific mental attitude or the scientific habit of thought. As a textbook it far surpasses the limitations imposed by popular definition. It has more the nature of an anthology of the scientific mind which is presented both subjectively and objectively--by the man who has one or, if you will, who is possessed by it and, by the man from whom it is completely detached. In addition, we are given the opportunity to observe what an integral part science has played, is playing and supposedly will play in the mental, moral, social and physical phases of human existence.
