Media Reviews
'a major contribution to the history of chemistry' Bulletin for the History of Chemistry 'McEvoy's book makes a valuable contribution in its insistence that the Chemical Revolution should be considered in relation to historiography.' Ambix '[a] formidable work of scholarship ... The text requires close, analytic reading and repays this effort with a comprehensive view of the scholarship of the chemical revolution. It includes extensive notes, a full bibliography and a comprehensive index. Highly recommended.' CHOICE 'this is a work of high scholarly order ... the text is well written and well organized. It is a welcome contribution to the history and philosophy of science and should appeal to anyone interested in the history of chemistry or Enlightenment science.' British Journal for the History of Science 'A tour de force ... required, and I predict rewarding, reading.' Annals of Science
