What is science? How does it work? Scientists seldom consider such questions, preferring to leave these abstractions to philosophers or historians. But many scientists might ask a question only slightly less abstract: “How can I be more effective as a scientist?” No answer is possible without understanding what science is. Enter Hugh Gauch with Scientific Method in Practice. His goals are to help scientists become better at their work and to provide a perspective on science.
