Editorial Reviews

Review

A first-rate, challenging text that emphasizes the philosophy in the philosophy of science. Rosenberg offers a superb introduction to the epistemological and metaphysical issues at stake in modern science.
.
–Professor Martin Curd, Purdue University, Indiana

Philosophy students will like the way the issues in philosophy of science are connected to the basic concerns of epistemology and philosophy of language.
.
–Professor Peter Kosso, Northern Arizona University

An engaging and clearly written introduction to the philosophy of science.....I was especially pleased to see the discussions of probability, the semantic view of theories, and science studies.
.
–Peter Lipton, Cambridge University

Alex's new novel, "In the Shadow of Enigma" is a stand alone sequel to his best selling "The Girl From Krakow." It's a thriller that follows four characters from the end of the '40s to the height of the cold war, all in the shadow of the greatest undisclosed secret of the Second World War: Rita Feuerstahl, who learned that the German Enigma had been deciphered by the Poles just before she escaped a Polish ghetto, Gil Romero, her prewar lover whom Rita marries after the war, Stefan Sajac, the infant son Rita had smuggled out of the ghetto and lost track of, and Otto Schulke, the German Gestapo detective who apprehended Rita during the war and suspected that she knew the secret of the Enigma’s decoding.
