Summary:

Quoting scientists from Aristotle to Einstein, British researcher Lewis Wolpert describes science as a special mode of thought. Once we understand science as "unnatural", we can begin to negotiate its murkiest, most misunderstood terrain. Wolpert is the author of The Triumph of the Embryo and coauthor of A Passion for Science.
