Excellent audiobook.

I would highly advise it to all with a technical interest. The survey was also helpful but a bit neurotic about the value of "paradigm."

Amazing guide

Mind-blowing, must audible. Wish I read this 10 years ago where I could have utilized it to many things I was learning.

great info, worst narratorever.

This is a quick into to the lives of some of the first true Western scientists, that allowed me to decide whom I would like to read more about to understand their contributions more thoroughly. I have to say tho, that any narrator who pronounces heresy "here say", or Jesuit as "jes suit", let alone mispronouncing covetous, Eton, beget, rhetoric or any number of common words should never have gotten the job. I was appalled and distracted by the constant mispronunciations of words any experienced narrator should have been familiar with and know how to pronounce correctly. It was so bad I had to go back and forth several times to be sure I could glean what he meant. And his style had all the excitement and enthusiasm of someone reading the phone book.

Despite this, the info made it very worthwhile and I give the overview 5 stars.

A remarkable book

I highly suggest this audiobook as it gives much more knowledge of how scientists work and what their results mean. I need more people who had the kind of perception of the scientific method that one gets from this book.

terrific guide

This audiobook presents at least a peek at how the method might occur. It could yet improve the listener's logical thinking and healthy suspicion.

An excellent and revolutionary book.

An amazing audiobook for those with a bit of a philosophical mindset. I love philosophy and that too in science is something unusual for me.
