Reviews
From the reviews:
“This volume … honors the enduring contributions and legacy of Joseph Ben-David (1920-1986), renowned for his work related to the sociology of science. … This would be useful to librarians, educators, clinicians, and researchers interested in the sociology of scientific research and history of science. … Readers interested in understanding the shift of academic scientific research from Italy to England to France to Germany to the United States will appreciate the framework and context this work offers … .” (Elizabeth Connor, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2014)
