4.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful and concise, March 30, 2006
Ceccarelli examines three cases of scientific synthesis (or lack thereof) based on rhetorical efforts. In each of her three cases, an effort was made to merge fields of inquiry based on larger principles. The first two are success stories, and the third was a failure. Ceccarelli's analysis is tight; her examples are important and well-chosen. This book is relatively accessible for those who do not have a scientific background and are curious about the role that rhetoric plays in scientific inquiry. It is also detailed enough to provide substance for scientific professionals in the fields of biology and physics who would like to know more about the history of how these fields were constituted.
