Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs, colour photographs, and reproductions in, black-and-white and colour. "The content of these essays is in fact wide-open the field of science, and I should not have called them The Ascent of Man had I not had in mind other steps in our cultural evolution too. My ambition here has been the same as in my other books, whether in literature or in science: to create a philosophy for the 20th century which shall be all of one piece. Like them, the series presents a philosophy rather than a history, a philosophy of nature rather than of science. Its subject is a contemporary version of what used to be called natural philosophy." -- page 15 The book is second-hand, and apart from previous owner's name on the first page has no damage to describe.
