Books by Jay A. Labinger

This work presents a case for engagement between the sciences and the humanities ¿ focusing particularly on literature¿ and an empirical, non-theory-based approach thereto.

In this brief, renowned inorganic chemist Jay Labinger tracks the development of his field from a forgotten specialism to the establishment of an independent, intellectually viable discipline.

This text is a discussion of issues that have been raised by the "Science Wars" (science versus the arts and humanities). The book presents papers for discussion, and then commentaries on those papers, drawing out discussions on central themes, and finally the participants respond to these issues.
