What reading level is Science in Public Affairs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
171 SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY J. A. HOBSON, M. A.
UNTIL comparatively recent times the natural sciences were pursued largely in a spirit of disinterested curiosity for the intellectual fruits they were capable of yielding. Though astronomy afforded important utility in the calculations of time and seasons and in the art of navigation, while geology, chemistry, and physics made in- cidental contributions to the arts of industry, these studies served through the Middle Ages chiefly to feed a romantic ...intellectualism in the learned classes: though botany, zoology, and other organic sciences more closely subserved certain direct uses of humanity, they entered very slowly and slightly into industrial reform. Even mechanics, though more definitely utilitarian in origin than other sciences, was largely perverted to purposes of more or less futile ingenuity, and yielded little economic service until the era of the industrial revolution.
The domination of industry in modern times, and the eagerness to wrest as quickly as possible from all the natural sciences the industrial aids they are capable of rendering, have grown so insistent as even to threaten the larger liberty of 172 Science and Industry natural growth which is favourable to the true advance of knowledge.
