How scientific and technological advances solve acute problems but offer chronic problems in their stead. Tenner’s fascinating book – in the same vein as Charles Handy’s The Age of Unreason – pinpoints the problems and offers a new paradigm for controlling them.
Why have men dominated science from the Ancient Greeks to the present day? In this searing work of revisionist feminist history, Margaret Wertheim finds the answer where God and physics meet.
