Synopsis "el poder de la ciencia (in Spanish)"

entre los diversos y múltiples poderes que nos abruman hay uno que tiene, al menos, la ventaja de estar basado en la racionalidad: el poder de la ciencia. en este libro se explica cómo la ciencia de galileo, newton, faraday o einstein se ha convertido en un poder que conforma gran parte de nuestras vidas. josé manuel sánchez ron no realiza una historia socioeconómica que se ocupa de los aspectos más institucionales de la ciencia: los centros en los que se hizo, la profesión científica, la reacción de los científicos ante los acontecimientos más destacados de su época y la imbricación de la ciencia y de los científicos con la vida diaria. se trata, en definitiva, de ayudar a entender cómo surgió la sociedad en la que vivimos, una sociedad en la que la ciencia desempeña un papel fundamental.
