Reviews

‘a fine achievement’
– Simon Schaffer, The Times Literary Supplement

‘A must for every university library.’
– The Guardian

‘These volumes are a must for any self-respecting library aiming to serve the interests of science and technology. There is something in them for the mathematician, the computer scientist, the economist, the historian, the manufacturer, the engineer and the politician. Once these volumes are put on the shelves they will be read.’
