Hidden histories of science / Edited by Robert B. Silvers

by Robert Silvers, Jonathan Miller, Stephen Jay Gould, Daniel Kevles, Richard C. Lewontin, Oliver Sacks

This volume explores the cultural influences on scientific thought and the history of biological research. It examines the role of imagery in evolutionary theory, the limitations of reductionist approaches, and the neglect of research that falls outside current fashion.
