Science, Technology, and Society — this vast and complex question is discussed from five points:
- Social responsibility of scientists
- Migration and movement of scholars
- Philanthropy and its role in education and culture
- Enlightened despots and their influence on science and culture
- Social aspects of mining
The book is meant for the general reader but can benefit scientists as well. Pictures have an important role to convey a message and for this reason some time was spent in selecting them from a variety of sources. It is hoped that this small book will serve as an introduction to this field to the young generation and inspire them to serve society. 316 pages, fully illustrated mostly in colour. ISBN 978-2-922686-01-2. Published August 2009. Price $30 + postage.
