Intersections: Essays in the Sciences and Humanities

by Steven Scott

Appropriate for use in first-year composition courses at universities and colleges, or for students of science and technology who are studying writing. Also appropriate for genre courses covering the essay. This collection crosses several between genders, among countries, and between science and technology and the humanities. Fifty essays deal with topics such as biology, natural history, chemistry, computers, women's issues, engineering, business, economics, technology, scientific ethics, language, communication, and manners and morals. The result is a text that is suitable for courses dealing specifically with science and society and for more general English composition and literature courses. Among the essays are both widely acknowledged classics and newer pieces by younger writers.
