5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Anthology,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Disunity of Science: Boundaries, Contexts, and Power (Writing Science) (Paperback)
Overall, this is an excellent anthology of recent work in the philosophy and history of science. Several distinguished figures including Arthur Fine, Peter Galison, Ian Hacking, and Donna Haraway have all contributed essays. The essay by Galison on Monte Carlo simulation is particularly good.
