Reviews

To my knowledge, there has never [before] been a volume that analyzes, in one place, the actual language of science--those elements of thinking that are acknowledged to be the basis of scientific thought... [Thus] this is a very important book, contributing to several fields: science, education, rhetoric, medicine, and perhaps even philosophy... Darian's erudition is truly astonishing. Celest A. Martin, Associate Professor, College Writing Program, University of Rhode Island
