‘I have spent two months dipping into this book to find out about a wide range of subjects … I am happy to report that it let me down rarely: there was usually a helpful and adaquately reference passage to furnish at least the beginning of an answer to my questions … I warmly recommend this pricey book as good value, even for cash-strapped libraries.’Graham Farmelo, Times Higher Education Supplement, '… the editor has done a very skilful job in commissioning and arranging 33 articles in the six parts of the volume. … an excellent overview of the state of scholarship in the history of the modern physical sciences.'
