The Scientific Endeavor: A Primer on Scientific Principles and Practice

Ideal as a standâ alone supplement in any science course, The Scientific Endeavorcreates a framework for students' future coursework in the sciences by discussing what science is and how it is done. Presenting all of the major topics and basic underpinnings of science in a clear, simplified manner, the book provides a generic view that isn't tied to any specific discipline.
