I loved this book. Kaplan tells a great, well-paced story. It excels at explaining how science works, problems in science, and how science should work. The tone is highly conversational and all the science is explained clearly. Kaplan intersperses history with his own experiences making the book more dynamic. I found some of the wording to be deliciously blunt and I appreciated Kaplan’s great sense of humour, which came through the best through the footnotes, which were definitely worth reading. I consider this book a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science. Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the advance reader copy.
