Media Reviews
'Degler's book provides pretty fair summaries of a wide range of texts, historical and contemporary. I can imagine that the student and the general reader will find it pretty useful in this respect.' Greta Jones, University of Ulster at Jordanstown, British Journal for the History of Science, Volume 26 - 1993
