Table of ContentsReviewsObviously a result of much research, this book will likely be of great use to those studying the philosophy of science. - Andrew Davies in The Physicist, vol. 37, no. 5 ...the quotations are provocative and offer food for thought... I find it utterly amazing how Gaither and Cavazos-Gaither are able to come up with such high quality anthologies at such a regular and rapid pace. I wish that I knew their secret. I am pleased to recommend their work to general readers with an interest in science as well as to scientists, students, educators, and scholars who have a need for a handy source of quotations. - George B Kauffman in Chemical Educator, vol. 7, no. 6, 2002 The illustrations are cartoons that nicely supplement the quotations. ... Two indexes make it easy to find subjects by author and authors by subject. This book is a useful addition to previous collections of quotations on science, with a somewhat broader base than those I have worked with previously. - History of Physics Newsletter, vol.

VIII, no. 6" The sixth (and largest) in a series of science quotation books, this dictionary of science quotations is organized by subject. With quotations relevant to all corners of scientific endeavour from Abstraction to Formula, from Technology to Understanding, here are the soundbites of generations of men and women of letters collected together for easy reference. Of course, it's not just fans of science who get quoted; Thomas Hardy, for example, provides this gem under the heading 'Anti-science'. 'The more we know of the laws and nature of the Universe the more ghastly a business we perceive it all to be - and the non-necessity of it.' An entertaining and informative book. (Kirkus UK) Obviously a result of much research, this book will likely be of great use to those studying the philosophy of science. --History of Physics Newsletter, Volume VIII, No. 6 Author InformationC.C.
