A singular achievement. Sheehan is masterful in her presentation of the dialectics of nature debates, which begin with Engels and recur throughout the periods covered by this book. * Science and Society * Sheehan's history is a remarkably effective combination of solid scholarship and engaging writing. Any reader who is led by the title of this book to expect a ponderous study of a technical branch of Marxist philosophy is in for a pleasant surprise. For Sheehan's prose is lively and full of feeling, and she approaches the philosophy of science not as a narrow specialty but as the key to understanding and appraising the many different turns taken by Marxist thinkers in the doctrine's first hundred years. * Slavic Review *
