"'The two cultures and the scientific revolution' burst upon the intellectual scene with the reverberation of an earthquake. . .in this famous work Sir Charles P. Snow described the dangerous split between our literary and scientific communities and warned that the West could lose the race in science and technology. . .this new edition contains the original essay together with a new essay in which Sir Charles examines the controversy his ideas have stirred and reaffirms his belief that we have entered a new age in which science, tradition, and art have no choice but to unite."
