These historical narratives of scientific behavior reveal the often
irrational way scientists arrive at and assess their theories.
There are stories of Einstein 's stubbornness leading him to reject
a correct interpretation of an experiment and miss an important
deduction from his own theory, and Newton missing the important
deduction from one of his most celebrated discoveries. Copernicus
and Galileo are found suppressing information. A theme running
throughout the book is the notion that what is obvious today was
not so in the past. Scientists seen in their historical context
shatter myths and show them to be less modern than we often like to
think of them.
