Lee (Texas Tech U.) provides students with an overview of major themes, processes, and topics common to all scientific disciplines. Intended to increase understanding and appreciation of any science course, this book covers general topics such as critical thinking, scientific misconduct, collegiality, and scientific methods, and includes appendices incorporating basic concepts such as graphing, rounding, and significant digits. Two chapters deal with pseudosciences, such as astrology, in light of the scientific need to maintain a skeptical attitude. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
