A distinguished set of scientist-historians describe the persona, the times, and the achievements of seventeen notable scientists from Aristotle to Watson and Crick. Porter's aim has been to trace the precepts that underlie Western science concepts of order and unity that might explain the rise to world dominance of this form of reasoning.
