Introducing Science
How do we reconcile the advantages of science with its perils? What do scientists actually do? Is science 'value-free'? How has science evolved through history? Where is science leading us? We now begin to see that uncertainty and ignorance tend to increase with changes in the production of knowledge. We have arrived at the threshold of post-normal science. Introducing Science is a clear and incisively illustrated anatomy of science. It is essential reading for students, ordinary citizens and scientists themselves.

Introducing Science and Religion
With Introducing Science and Religion, author Gillian Straine suggests several different paths through the debates that surround science and religion. These paths offer ways of holding a rational interest in the world and scientific attempts to understand it and a lively and questioning faith in God which takes the Bible seriously. This book will help you answer the question: can a Christian believe what the scientists say? Gillian Straine considers the big issues around human consciousness, the origins of the universe, evolution and intelligent design helping you understand both sides of the so called 'conflict' and how each throws its own light on the other's approach.
