What exactly does an anthropologist do, or a geologist or historian? In short, what are the arts and sciences? While many of us have been to college and many aspire to go, we may still wonder just what the various disciplines represent and how they interact. What are their origins, methods, applications, and unique challenges? What kind of people elect to go into each of these fields, and what are the big issues that motivate them? Curious to explore these questions himself, Dartmouth College professor and mathematician Dan Rockmore asked his colleagues to explain their fields and what it is that they do. The result is an accessible, entertaining, and enlightening survey of the ideas and subjects that contribute to a liberal education. The book offers a doorway to the arts and sciences for anyone intrigued by the vast world of ideas.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dartmouth College Press","offers":[{"title":"What Are the Arts and Sciences?: A Guide for the Curious | Dan Rockmore | Paperback | 9781512601022 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks F 1785749","offer_id":67793064067224,"sku":"1785749","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61vw2nGd9GL.jpg?v=1792764986","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/what-are-the-arts-and-sciences-a-guide-for-the-curious","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
