Reviews

Trials are the stuff of Golan's engaging narrative as he briskly guides his readers through some of the formative moments in a century or so of scientific expert testimony in English and American common law. - Sheila Jasanoff, Nature


In this witty book, Tal Golan shows how the Anglo-American legal system accommodated itself partially and reluctantly to the laws of science and the agitation of scientists. In style and substance, Laws of Men and Laws of Nature shines as a work in the history of science and eclipses most contemporary science studies. - John Heilbron, author of The Sun in the Church: Cathedrals as Solar Observatories


Author Information

Tal Golan is Associate Professor of History of Science at the University of California, San Diego.
