Culture Clash. Part 1: Form and Formula

Synopsis
An intellectually stimulating and visually extravagant exploration not just of the ‘two cultures’ debate in modern Britain, but of changing images of science and scientists in history; the place of science in national culture; the ‘culture’ of science itself, and the underlying homologies and continuities between nature, art and mathematics. With Professor Roy Porter (Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine), Professor Lewis Wolpert (University College London), Professor Ian Stewart (University of Wales Cardiff), Dr Steve Pumfrey (University of Lancaster) and novelists J G Ballard and Peter Ackroyd.
