Includes bibliographical references and index.

This, the final book in the series, discusses the most significant scientific breakthroughs since World War II. The book addresses the move toward increased specialization in all branches of science and the greater use of computers in scientific research. From the study of subatomic particles to missions into outer space, it reveals the rapidly expanding horizons of science. Lavishly illustrated, this book also explores a change in attitude toward science, while science enabled enormous advances in the 20th century, it is sometimes blamed for dangers such as the threats from nuclear war, waste and power plant accidents and the deterioration of the ozone layer.
