Reviews
a comprehensive introduction as well as thoughtfully relevant ... contributions knitting together the various expert critical responses to the existence and use of brute facts ... Recommended. * J. Gough, CHOICE * A lucid evaluation of the limits of science is as important for science education as the analysis of what can be achieved by science. In order to defend the reliability of the scientific method against antiscientific challenges, it is important to reflect on the scope and limits of scientific explanation. By contributing to this task, the book will be useful and relevant as a background for science educators and science education research. * Max Kistler, Science & Education * Overall, this collection explores a variety of themes in the existing literature. The issues that it covers deserve a broader audience. Hopefully, this work will draw more attention to the topic in the coming years. * Derek Shiller, Metascience *
