Reviews
A marvellous introduction to philosophy of science ... truly original, comprehensive, and above all, extremely interesting., Lively, accessible, and clear-headed. Good for the beginning student and for anyone wishing guidance on how to start thinking philosophically about science., An excellent and well-written contribution... which serves as a good example that clear and rigorous writing needn't always be overly dry., Activist and former president of NOW The book interweaves history, philosophy, and much-needed practical advice for activists. Passing on his perspective, Tom's also given us a good read!, Campaigner for the banning of the phrase under God in the American Pledge of Allegiance A thought-provoking work. Hopefully, if enough people read it and ponder its ideas, his observation that 'civil liberties have historically been a hypocrite's business' will no longer ring true.
