Peter Vickers, Durham University 'Many books denounce or praise the humanities. Only a few tell us how they work. In this elegant, witty, sometimes paradoxical book, informed by deep knowledge of the history of science, Chris Haufe shows that the humanities can and do produce powerful knowledge. He also argues that they could create much more of it if scholars and funders understood how communities and disciplines frame productive inquiries.' Anthony Grafton, Princeton University 'Constantly interesting and engagingly written, this timely book is destined to generate a lot of interest, both inside and outside academia.'
