  science
Science is first and foremost a set of logical and empirical methods which provide for the systematic observation of empirical phenomena in order to understand them.
Science consists of several specific sciences, such as biology, physics, chemistry, geology, and astronomy, which are defined by the type and range of empirical phenomena they investigate.
Finally, science is also the application of scientific knowledge, as in the altering of rice with daffodil and bacteria genes to boost the vitamin A content of rice.

 What is Science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The Oxford English Dictionary defines science as "a branch of study which is concerned with a body of demonstrated truths or observed facts, systematically classified and more or less colligated by being brought under general laws, and which includes trustworthy methods for the discovery of new truths within its own domain."
Testing hypotheses generated by historical sciences (where direct experimentation is impossible) requires the scientist to patiently wait for "new" data to be uncovered from the historical source.
In order to determine if science and its theories are justifiable, and provide the best possible explanation of the natural world, the theory must pass numerous tests.

Science is the system of knowing the universe through data collected by observation and controlled experimentation.
The true test of a theory in science is threefold: (1) its ability to explain what has been observed; (2) its ability to predict what has not yet been observed; and (3) its ability to be tested by further experimentation and to be modified as required by the acquisition of new data.

 How Science Books Drive Public Discussion
Nonetheless, it is important for us to see that these "public science" books get some of their credibility precisely because they lay claim to the authority of science.
Among the "science attentive" public, you are expected to have seen the excerpts of these sorts of books in the New Yorker.
I was arguing that a lot of the popular science magazines that had been produced at that time, and that by then were in trouble (many of them had failed or been sold to new owners), had failed not because they aren't pretty, but because they were speaking from the scientific point of view.
