Drawing directly on the extensive scientific literature, Christie uses the story of ozone as a case study for examining fundamental issues relating to the collection and evaluation of evidence, the conduct of scientific debate and the construction of scientific consensus. By linking key debates in the philosophy of science to an example of real-world science, the author not only provides an excellent introduction to the philosophy of science but also challenges many of its preconceptions. This accessible book will interest students and academics concerned with the history, philosophy and sociology of science, as well as having general appeal on this topic of contemporary relevance and concern.Ozone layerSciencePhilosophyOzone layer.SciencePhilosophy.551.51/42Christie MaureenDr,1037734UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910455068703321Ozone layer2458876UNINA
