1 the other side of the coin

(the other side of the coin (medal, picture, story или редк. shield))

другая, оборотная сторона медали, другая сторона вопроса; см. тж. one side of the coin

Readers interested in science and astronomy can thoroughly enjoy this book, for his arguments, however contentious, are concise and yet clearly expressed. Nor does he fail to show the other side of the picture - although naturally he comes down heavily in favour of his own point of view. (‘Daily Worker’) — Читателям, интересующимся наукой вообще и астрономией в частности, эта книга доставит огромное удовольствие: аргументация автора, хотя иногда и спорная, излагается сжато и ясно. Автор приводит и другую точку зрения, но, конечно - и это вполне естественно, - решительно отстаивает свою.
