--Craig A. Anderson, Iowa State University
"This book provides a comprehensive, fascinating, and up-to date
account of what underlies the process of science. While there are
many books on the nature of science written by philosophers,
sociologists, historians and psychologists, this is the first
volume that provides a sweeping vista of all these different
approaches. Proctor and Capaldi have written a book that is a
must-have for anyone who wants to understand the enterprise that we
call science."
--Kevin Niall Dunbar, Dartmouth College"This is a
sophisticated, important, readable, and timely treatment of both
the philosophy of science and the science of psychology. It would
be a valuable addition to any advanced seminar on research methods
in the behavioral sciences."
--David Klahr, Carnegie Mellon University
