“I found this a fascinating book, and one which anyone considering setting up their own business will find of great value.”
Personnel Today
“This is a big, very competently written and assiduously researched book.”
The Guardian
“A thoroughly readable and provocative book. The conclusion to be drawn from The Second Culture is clear. Unless people are made more aware of the importance of science in their own lives, it will continue to be under-appreciated by the politicians who fund it, by the industrialists (who convert science into products and services), and the directors who keep scientists at arm’s length through fear of displaying their own inadequacies at board meetings.”
The Sunday Times
“This book conveys some of the excitement of science… it provides a brief run through to improve industry’s technical competence by promoting R&D.”
The Director
“The co-authors have probed diligently, talking to a wide range of consultants and clients…. and offer a selection of illuminating case studies.”
The Financial Times
“This book is a remarkable achievement. It enables the general public to understand the world of scientists, and how they feel about and react to the pressures of contemporary Britain.”
Denis Noble, FRS, Emeritus Professor of Pharmacology, Oxford
“The interviews with leading designers and corporate identity experts present a wide variety of options open to the innovative mind. This feature alone makes the book a very lively read. And with its numerous charts for easy assimilation, this thought-provoking study itself serves as a demonstration of the beneficial impact of good design.”
The Engineer
