Excerpt from Science in Public Affairs
What is true of Commerce and Industry is not less true of the Art of Government. This art is founded on science. Where the clear conceptions which science alone can give are absent, con fusion is the result. People hardly know yet how much this is being realised. Our best reformers in such subjects as Poor Law Administration, in Education, in Local Government, in the region which belongs to the Labour and Commercial sides of the Board of Trade, in Public Health, and, last but not least, in Railway Administration, are yearly insisting more loudly on the necessity of the trained mind. Things are, as a consequence, rapidly ceasing to be what they where. The meaning of the change which is taking place is the subject of this volume.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. The author brings together diverse thinkers to present a fresh outlook on science and its critical role in improving human life. Issues analyzed include increasing scientific innovation in industrial and agricultural processes, and the impact on global competition and resources. The author argues for lifelong learning, the integration of the humanities and sciences in education, and citizens informed of scientific advance. While acknowledging that we cannot simply turn away from industrial life in favor of a rural existence, the author believes science can lead us to a better, more healthful way of living. The book's insights are essential to understanding the increasing importance of science, and organizing our physical and social lives for an uncertain future.
