The Ascent of Science

A sweeping journey through the scientific method and the ideas that shaped our understanding of the universe. From Oxford University Press comes this comprehensive exploration of how science works, why it matters, and the profound questions it asks about reality, consciousness, and our place in the cosmos. Beautifully written and accessible, it bridges the gap between specialist knowledge and curious minds. Perfect for anyone who wants to understand not just what science knows, but how we came to know it—armchair philosophers and lifelong learners alike.
