I haven't read it, but I've seen excerpts, some of which were published right here on FR. It may be wrong to characterize it as a history of science, but not entirely wrong.

And if it is wrong, it is wrong in a neutral direction. It is not pejorative.

Agreed, js. But to draw this conclusion respecting our humble little work, you would have to recognize that the history of science begins in ancient Greece -- with thinkers such as Leucippus, Democritus, Heraclitus, and most notably Aristotle. But that is not the fashion, these days.

That would be our presupposition. And how far science has come from there! But it never falsified its beginning -- before Laplace at least.

Thanks so much for writing, js1138!
