Review
`well known and widely used textbook ... As in the earlier editions the same writing style and format for organizing the material are preserved. As a result the book rigidly stays at the level of presenting only carefully condensed factual presentations in serial order of the individual
authors involved, and scrupulously avoids any critical evaluations or comparisons of the philosophies of science sketched out for the reader.'
Richard J. Blackwell, Saint Louis University, Physis, Vol. XXI (1994)
