Science is for everyone, whatever they try to tell you
Article Abstract:
The success of the 1995 National Science Week is one example of how science is starting to appeal more to ordinary people. There has been very high demand for popular science books over recent years, and science is no longer seen as solely the domain of remote, academically-minded people. Technology is now influencing all parts of everyday life, and a scientific background is becoming necessary in order to understand and control the natural and the social world.

Science confronts the beast within
Article Abstract:
A considerable number of popular books have been published over recent years which deal with evolutionary biology and the application of Darwinian principles to human beings and society. This reflects the many changes which are taking place within evolutionary biology itself, with professionals producing new theories about the great diversity of the natural world. Evolutionary principles can now be used to explain both the anatomy and the behaviour of animals.
