Philosophical puzzles, political problems, ethical enigmas - science has them all. Is research a gentlemanly art or a tough professional game? How can research be made relevant to national development? Is war good for physics? How does information become knowledge? These and many other topics on the human side of science are discussed in this wide ranging book, originally published in 1981.
