Science for the Citizen

by Lancelot Hogben

First published in 1938, Science for the Citizen is partly written for the large and growing number of
intelligent adults who realize that the Impact of Science on Society is now the
focus of genuinely constructive social effort. It is also written for the large
and growing number of adolescents, who realize that they will be the first
victims of tie new destructive powers of science misapplied. Since it is the
first British handbook to Scientific Humanism, it has, inevitably, the glaring
faults of any new thing. Education segregates the scientific specialist from
those who study problems of government and social welfare. So, like anyone
else who in this generation might have attempted a task so ambitious, I
have had to re-educate myself in the process of writing it.
