Reviews

'This richly succinct guide to The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, T.S. Kuhn's hugely influential book, combines a lucid and subtle presentation of its main themes with an incisive and probing assessment of its reception and significance.' Vasso Kindi, Department of Philosophy and History of Science, University of Athens, Greece

'Preston's book admirably illuminates the most philosophically compelling and enduring elements of Kuhn's thought without diluting their complexity or sidestepping their perplexing consequences.' Matthew Lund, Department of Philosophy and Religion, Rowan University, USA
