'Sorell's exceptionally lucid prose ... is stimulating and highly recommended.' - Times Higher Education Supplement

'This badly needed book is ... an outstanding addition to any library.' - Choice

'Sorell has produced an eminently readable critique ... of great value to teachers and students in the humanities. It deserves to be read by members of the scientific community.' - Explorations in Knowledge
