Rezensionen

"Delisle (philosophy, Univ. of Lethbridge, UK) has edited an insightful new volume on the history and philosophy of science. ... Contributors to this volume include historians and philosophers of evolutionary biology, and they provide insights on how the research and discoveries of the past are presented or represented in historiographical perspectives. This reference would be useful in libraries that support programs in the history and philosophy of evolutionary biology. Summing Up: Recommended." (K. M. Foos, Choice, Vol. 56 (2), October, 2018)
