"Learning Where We Are: Natural History as Science for the Common Reader

Twentieth-century science has increasingly become abstract, theoretical and removed from experience—a subject "not for amateurs." However, an older, more direct view of the world—natural history—is an area of science where the average person may easily explore the questions and values that have made science a great adventure for the human mind. This presentation introduces some of the most interesting questions raised by natural history writers and by the study of science."
