Reviews

the most important book on this subject since Bridgman's classic work of 1927... Chang's book should become mandatory reading for anyone who wants to pursue the problem of measurement further. Donald Gillies, The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science [A] fascinating study David Knight, BJHS, Vol. 39/4
