This copy of “Science And Government” by C.P. Snow offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential public intellectuals of the 20th century. Snow, a renowned novelist and scientist, was deeply concerned with the growing divide between the “two cultures” of sciences and humanities. In this seminal work, he argues for a closer integration of scientific knowledge and policymaking, believing that the future progress of society hinged on bridging this gap. Published in 1961, at the height of the Cold War and the Space Race, Snow’s call for a more scientifically literate government resonated strongly with the public’s desire for technological advancement. While some of his arguments may seem dated today, the book remains a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between science, politics, and society. Despite its age and wear, this copy invites readers to engage with Snow’s influential ideas and appreciate the historical context that shaped his perspectives.
