Modern Science and Modern Man von James B Conant

This book is the series of four Bampton lectures of 1952 which were delivered at Columbia University by the author. When he was chosen as the lecturer, President Eisenhower expressed on behalf of the committee the hope that he would provide "some understanding of the significance of recent developments in the physical sciences".
