Editorial Reviews

Review

` Uneasy Genius is a tribute not only to the physicist, philosopher, and historian who was Pierre Duhem, but also to the historian, philosopher and physicist who is Stanley L. Jaki. '
John Lyon in ISIS

` On reste confondu devant le livre de Stanley L. Jaki, devant son érudition et l'accumulation de faits . . . Il a tout lu, tout fouillé, tout dépouillé! C'est un oeuvre magistrale qui ne laisse plus rien à écrire sur Pierre Duhem. '
Analyses Bibliographiques

` Ouvrage exceptionel . . . ; cette richesse de la documentation vient étayer chaque affirmation de ses dix chapitres. '
Paul Germain, Secrétaire Perpétuel de l'Académie des Sciences

` . . . This is a book on an `uneasy genius' that deserves to be chewed and digested. '
H. W. Paul in Nature
