"In preparing this remarkable book, Ernest Hook persuaded an
eminent group of scientists, historians, sociologists and
philosophers to focus on the problem: why are some discoveries
rejected at a particular time but later seen to be valid? The
interaction of these experts did not produce agreement on
'prematurity' in science but something more valuable: a collection
of fascinating papers, many of them based on new research and
analysis, which sometimes forced the author to revise a
previously-held opinion. The book should be enthusiastically
welcomed by all readers who are interested in how science
works."--Stephen G. Brush, co-author of "Physics, The Human
Adventure: From copernicus to Einstein and Beyond
""Prematurity and Scientific Discovery contains interesting and
insightful papers by numerous well-known scientists and scholars.
It will be of wide interest, not only to science studies scholars
but also to working scientists and to science-literate general
readers."--Thomas Nickles, editor of "Scientific Discovery, Logic,
and Rationality
