Summary:

"Since Sir Charles Snow first used the phrase in the 1959 Rede Lecture, the concept of the 'two cultures' has become part of the English language. His views on the gulf that exists between the scientist and the non-scientist and how fatal the lack of communication between these two groups could be have become one of the most discussed statements of our generation... For this edition Sir Charles has written a new section of about the same length as the original lecture. In it he states his own further thoughts on the problem and deals with many of the contributions on the subject which have appeared all over the world. This is now being issued together with the original lecture."--from the inside front flap.
