Reseña del editor:

Exploring the ways that science is influenced by culture, Hidden Histories of Science highlights the misleading images that have distorted our view of the history of life. The contributors -- Stephen Jay Gould, Daniel J. Kevles, R. C. Lewontin, Jonathan Miller, and Oliver Sacks -- consider the neglect of useful ideas that do not fit the current intellectual fashion in science.
