Scientific development and misconceptions through the ages

a reference guide

"The evolution of science through the ages has often been marred by people's misconceptions. From prehistoric times, when myths played a major role in people's lives, to present-day debates concerning the environment, people have sought ways to explain the world around them and have often come up with incorrect answers. Science has grown through the correction of these mistakes.

This unique reference source can be used by students, teachers, and other interested researchers to explore this growth as it pertains to both the field of science and the process of scientific experimentation. Readers will discover how mistakes and misunderstandings led to further experimentation and eventually to scientific facts."--BOOK JACKET.
