This review is from: An American Scientist on the Research Frontier: Edward Morley, Community, and Radical Ideas in Nineteenth-Century Science (Archimedes) (Hardcover)
I'm interested in the borders of science so I read this book. It's really, really interesting. Hamerla talks about scientific research that takes place away from the traditional (stuffy) centers of science, and how these researchers work differently, sometimes producing incredibly important and paradigm shifting results. Besides the technical history of Morley's famous experiments, it is a book about outsiders, power, legitimacy (and lack thereof), and the pursuit of knowledge.
