New topics in this edition include science and the corporate world, the regulation of science and technology, and climate change.

The text is accompanied by 38 colour maps and diagrams, and 4 colour plates highlighting key concepts and events. Essay questions, chapter timelines, a further readings section, and an index provide additional support for students.
