Trevor Levere, AMBIX, 2000.
'...an indispensable guide to the history of science in the Netherlands from the formation of the country in the sixteenth century through the twentieth century. Anyone who wished to learn about Dutch science will find this volume useful, thoughtful, and authoritative. It will also be of interest to anyone concerned about national styles of science...a work of thoroughness, usefulness, and tolerant argumentativeness.'
