Trade Review
"The book is meticulously researched, using extensively the work of Piaget, Kuhn, Toynbee, and Jung among others, as well as the ideas related to open systems theory." -- Dirk Leemans Canadian Book Review Annual "...the very ambition of this book commends it to the attention of anyone interested in the complex relation between modern science and technology, on the one hand, and the traditional notions of culture, society, and history, on the other." -- Hayden White ISIS: A Journal of the History of Science Society
