520    There is a lot of confusion and misconception concerning 
       science. The nature and contents of science is an 
       unsettled problem. For example, Thales of 2,600 years ago 
       is recognized as the father of science but the word 
       science was introduced only in the 14th century; the 
       definition of science is often avoided in books about 
       philosophy of science. This book aims to clear up all 
       these confusions and present new developments in the 
       philosophy, history, sociology and communication of 
       science. It also aims to showcase the achievement of 
       China's top scholars in these areas. The 18 chapters, 
       divided into five parts, are written by prominent scholars
       including the Nobel laureate Robin Warren, sociologist 
       Harry Collins, and physicist-turned-historian Dietrich 
       Stauffer.
