This book shows why, at any given time--even in the mature phase of science--there exists no single "paradigm, " but rather a spectrum of competing perspectives. Whether considering conflicts between Heisenberg and Einstein, Bohr and Einstein, or P. W. Bridgman and B. F. Skinner, tracing I. I. Rabi's shift of attention from superb science to education and scientific statesmanship--in each case, Holton demonstrates a masterly understanding of modern science and how it influences our world.
