This book combines two classic volumes of broadcasted presentations, first published in 1933 and 1945. The first looks at the relationship between science and the development of European civilisation in the first part of the 20th century. Eminent and diverse thinkers as Julian Huxley, Bertrand Russell and Hilaire Belloc comment. The second focuses on the influence of science in everyday life, and demonstrates that not all science is remote and theoretical. Offers a glimpse into the attitudes towards science current in the middle of the Second World War.
