The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution

I know I could have found this on some website, and read it on my Android phone, but I am a person who likes to have a book...paper and cloth and bindings and ink... in my hand.
I checked this out from a local public state university, and they actually still use check-out cards in the books, and stamped due-dates on the card sleeve in the book! >>due JUL 13 2023 (the previous stamp on the sleeve is 2010)
A quick read... 4 'chapters' for only 58 pages. Casual reading, but intriguing.

I feel that the core ideas behind this publication, and this particular set of views by C.P.Snow... a critique and broad analysis of the state of the pure sciences and applied sciences compared to the humanities...have been fairly influential in many aspects show more of cultural acumen.

As a person fairly well versed in biology, physics, etc., as well as being a voracious reader of a wide range of novels and non-science non-fiction, many of the passages in this collection of 'essays' were applicable to my 'word view'. show less

A little book that is a quick and easy read. While definitely dated, Snow has some interesting ideas about the apparent gap between scientific and literary groups, especially in the England of the fifties and sixties.

Definitely not something I would have read had I not been required to for class, however, it makes one think about the lack of communication between artistic types and scientific types.
