From the Back Cover
"A splendid critical survey by a major player in the field, of great value to student and professional alike. It covers an enormous amount of ground, including some important unpublished material, and contains a near-comprehensive chronological bibliography. The writing is exceptionally clear and well organized." --Studies in the History and Philosophy of Science
"Essential reading for any serious student of scientific explanation." --International Studies in Philosophy
"Salmon's book is a masterpiece of lucidity, written by a philosopher whose professional career to date coincides almost exactly with the four decades of the title, and who himself has been the central figure in the last two decades. Every philosopher should have a copy of this book on his or her bookshelf." --Paul Humphreys, University of Virginia
