This book is a small but practical summary of how one can and should learn science. The author
argues that science cannot be taught but has to be learnt. Based on historical examples he
shows that practicing science means putting one's intellect into the understanding of simple
questions like what why how and when events around you happen. The reader understands that
the search for the cause and effect relationship of so called normal happenings is a very
provocative experience and learning science leads one to it. This is underpinned by looking at
everyday experiences and how they can help any lay-person learn science. The author also
explains the methodology of science and discusses an integrated approach to science
communication. Finally he elaborates on the influence and role of science in society. The book
addresses interested general readers teachers and science communicators.
