Tracing the entwined fates of scientific and political revolution, the author of the classic Coming of Age in the Milky Way argues that the rise of democracy has historically been fueled by its integral relationship with science. From the Enlightenment to the American Revolution to today's troubled world of postmodernism and fundamentalism, Ferris surveys the intellectual underpinnings of liberty with a refreshing clarity and vigor.
