Reviews

'Professor Ziman is an excellent guide in these matters ... As an introductory map of the terrain, the book is clear and accurate. Each chapter is followed by a carefully chosen but not daunting long annotated reading list.' The Times Higher Education Supplement 'Ziman's book is a tour de force ... It would make a fine textbook for an introductory course in a science, technology, and society program.' Science
