Interdisciplinary Science Reviews was founded in 1976 as a non-specialist
quarterly journal devoted to interdisciplinary approaches in the physical,
biological and social sciences. As well as detailed critical reviews, it
features a wide ranging book review section and short 'comments' on
topical subjects. Subjects covered in recent issues include: 'What is
hypnosis?', 'War - some psychological causes and effects', 'The natural
history of salicylic acid', 'Evolutionary aesthetics', 'Harwell - the
first 50 years', 'Lucidity and science'.
ISR has a particular concern with influences of scientific and
technological developments on society, and vice versa, and the December
1998 issue contains an extended dialogue between Steve Fuller (Professor
of Sociology, University of Durham, UK) and Tony Barnett (Emeritus
Professor of Zoology, Australian National University) on the themes
considered in Fuller's recent book, 'Science'. The discussion is notable
for going beyond the point scoring characteristic of the 'science wars',
and the protagonists get close to agreement in some key areas.
