Thomas Kuhn may well have been the most important contributor to Science Studies in the twentieth century. Alexander Bird's book about him is well written and full of creative and provocative argument.

From the Publisher
"The author succeeds extremely well in what he sets out to do, which is to let the reader know about Kuhn's ideas by putting in them in context and then discussing them in some detail. The book is fair, it is thorough, and it is balanced."—Michael Ruse, University of Guelph"Thomas Kuhn may well have been the most important contributor to Science Studies in the twentieth century.
