"The book concentrates on those aspects of the physical sciences most relevant to a non scientist who wants to understand how the universe works and to know something about the connections between science and everyday life. We hope to equip readers to appreciate major developments in science as they arrive and to be able to act as informed citizens on matters that involve science and public policy. In particular, there are serious questions today concerning energy supply and use and the contribution of carbon dioxide emissions to climate change. Debates on these questions require a certain amount of scientific literacy, which this book is intended to provide, in order that sensible choices be made that will determine the welfare of generations to come. Past choices have not always benefited our planet and its inhabitants : it is up to us to see that future choices do." - Provided by the author.
