HOW DOES A SCIENTIST go about making a discovery?
From the rear cover
"An outstanding book by a very fine writer. What Science Is and How It Works delves into the nature of science and along the way meanders into many interesting subjects. It represents a significant contribution in making science more accessible to the layperson."--Robert Ehrlich, author of Nine Crazy Ideas in Science
"Gregory Derry has identified accurately and completely the essential elements of what makes science interesting and what characterizes scientific reasoning. He illustrates his points with well-chosen examples of people, issues, and phenomena."--Mark P. Silverman, author of Waves and Grains: Reflections on Light and Learning
