The Two Cultures

This book is based on C. P. Snow's Rede lecture of 1959. The lecture consisted of the different views of the two cultures--science on one hand, and the arts or humanities on the other, and thus sparked a public debate that is still raging in the media today. This reissue has a new introduction by Stefan Collini, charting the history and context of the debate, its implications and its afterlife. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
