Produktbeschreibung
The objective of this book is to reconstruct historical episodes and experiments that have been important in scientific progress, and to explore the role played by controversies and rivalries among scientists. Although progress in science has been replete with controversies, scientists themselves either ignore or simply downplay their role. Such presentations lack the appreciation of the dynamics of 'science-in-the-making'. This book provides methodological guidelines - based on a historical perspective of philosophy of science- that facilitate an understanding of historical episodes beyond that of inductive generalizations. These guidelines suggest that progress in science is not merely based on the accumulation of experimental data, but rather dependent on the creative imagination of the scientific community. This work shows that interpretation of experimental data is difficult and inevitably leads to alternative models/theories thus facilitating the understanding of science as a human enterprise.

Rezensionen
From the reviews: "The book is organized in 14 chapters and includes references, an author index and a subject index. ... The book does an excellent job in brining to the foreground the complexity that surrounds the development of ideas in science. ... Overall, the book is a valuable contribution in illustrating a face of science that is often ignored. ... The book will be useful for academics, researchers and students in history, philosophy and education of science." (Sibel Erduran, Science & Education, June, 2010)
