The Science and Art of Being Human

This book challenges the accepted belief in present-day society that the sciences and arts are separate or even oppositional domains, unrelated and separate areas of learning requiring either special ‘intelligence’ (for scientists) or special ‘talent’ for artists. ‘Ordinary’ people often do not see themselves as possessing either of these capacities. Yet science and art permeate every aspect of all our lives. The problem is not with the words but with how we understand them.
