Thomas S. Kuhn's classic book is now available with a new index.
"A landmark in intellectual history which has attracted attention far beyond its own immediate field. . . . It is written with a combination of depth and clarity that make it an almost unbroken series of aphorisms. . . . Kuhn does not permit truth to be a criterion of scientific theories, he would presumably not claim his own theory to be true. But if causing a revolution is the hallmark of a superior paradigm, [this book] has been a resounding success". --Nicholas Wade, "Science"
"Perhaps the best explanation of [the] process of discovery". --William Erwin Thompson, "New York Times Book Review"
"Occasionally there emerges a book which has an influence far beyond its originally intended audience. . . . Thomas Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" . . . has clearly emerged as just such a work". --Ron Johnston, "Times Higher Education Supplement"
"Among the most influential academic books in this century". -- "Choice"
--One of "The Hundred Most Influential Books Since the Second World War", "Times Literary Supplement"
Thomas S. Kuhn was the Laurence Rockefeller Professor Emeritus of linguistics and philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His books include "The Essential Tension; Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894-1912; " and "The Copernican Revolution".

This is one of the key works in the field of the philosophy of science, and one of the most influential works of the 20th century (and not just on the field of science either). Kuhn looks at the way we discover things and how we move from one paradigm of understanding to another, how that "leap" is made from known to not-yet-known. There is a fair degree of philosophy in this book but it is still readable and very interesting. Some great ideas that will make you think. Well worth reading for those interested in the world of science.
