The aim of \u003ci\u003eCulture, Curiosity and Communication in Scientific Discovery \u003c\/i\u003eis to try to shine a light through the mist of scientific research by way of examples taken from the sciences, social sciences and the humanities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book maintains that the foundations of science are built on sand because theories come and go and the search for truth is elusive.
