Borderlands of Science is a thought-provoking book written by Alfred Still that explores the boundaries and limitations of science. The author discusses the various scientific theories and concepts that have been developed over the years and questions their validity and accuracy. He also examines the role of science in society and how it shapes our understanding of the world around us.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of reality, the origins of life, the mysteries of the universe, and the limits of human knowledge. Still challenges readers to think critically about the scientific ideas that are often taken for granted and encourages them to explore alternative perspectives and theories.Throughout the book, Still draws on his extensive knowledge of science and philosophy to provide a nuanced and insightful analysis of the complex issues at play. He also includes numerous examples and case studies to illustrate his points and engage readers in the discussion.Overall, Borderlands of Science is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that will appeal to anyone interested in science, philosophy, and the nature of knowledge. It offers a fresh and insightful perspective on some of the most pressing questions facing humanity today and challenges readers to think deeply about their own beliefs and assumptions.This book is not a history of science; neither is it a history of magic; it is an attempt to evaluate the influence on civilization of both science and superstition, knowledge and belief, and to consider critically those borderland phenomena which the scientist rarely investigates notwithstanding that they occur in the natural world which he shares with the unreasoning multitude.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
