Hidden Histories of Science
These essays explore episodes in the history of science that suggest instead that the process of understanding the significance of scientific discoveries can be erratic, contradictory, even irrational. Contributors include Oliver Sacks, R. C. Lewontin, Stephen Jay Gould, Jonathan Miller, and Daniel Kevles.
"These eminent scientists and historians of science share a gift for clear exposition and luminous prose. Such elegant writing for a general public should shame humanists plagued by jargon."—Esquire
