Thirty-five years ago, C. P. Snow, in a now famous essay, wrote about the polarization of the "two cultures" -- literary intellectuals on the one hand, and scientists on the other. Although he hoped for the emergence of a "third culture" that would bridge the gap, it is only recently that science has changed the intellectual landscape.Brockman's thesis that science is emerging ...(展开全部)

This work contains Steven Shapin's historical exploration into the origins of the modern scientific worldview.

From the end of the Baroque era and the death of Bach to the rise of Hitler, Germany was transformed from a poor relation among Western nations into a dominant intellectual and cultural force. By 1933, Germans had won more Nobel Prizes than the British and Americans combined. Yet this remarkable genius was cut down in its prime by Adolf Hitler and his disastrous Third Reich—a b...(展开全部)

彼得·沃森（Peter Watson，1943-），英国当代著名作家、记者，曾就读于伦敦达勒姆大学、伦敦大学和罗马大学，先后担任《今日种族》《新社会》等多家杂志的主编和副主编，《泰晤士报》《纽约时报》等多家报刊的记者和撰稿人。1997年起任剑桥大学麦克唐纳考古研究所研究员。其著述颇丰，代表作有《德国天才》《20世纪思想史》《大分离：旧大陆与新大陆的历史与人性》《卡拉瓦乔的阴谋》《心理战：心理学的军事用途与滥用》等。
