Reseña del editor

Exploring the ways that science is influenced by culture, Hidden Histories of Science highlights the misleading images that have distorted our view of the history of life. The contributors -- Stephen Jay Gould, Daniel J. Kevles, R. C. Lewontin, Jonathan Miller, and Oliver Sacks -- consider the neglect of useful ideas that do not fit the current intellectual fashion in science.
