Lorenz Krüger is a philosopher of science at Göttingen University.
I can think of no other comparable work that comes even close to covering the same important material in the history of science and philosophy.
(Patrick Suppes, Stanford University)These two volumes come close to the best that can be achieved on the topics and the period covered. They contain a mine of historical and philosophical material. You can dip in almost anywhere and be interested.
