About This Item
Sydney: Sydney University Press, 1969. 1st ed. . Dark Green Cloth. Fine/VG(-). 14 Cms x 22 Cms. xiv+193, numerous figs numbered by chapter; book near pristine but clipped jacket, sealed in protective sleeve when acquired, has widespread, but light, surface rubbing and faded spine, edges however appear unrubbed. An exposition, with comments, on 4 major topics in history of science: circulation of the blood, planetary motion, periodic table and gene theory, addressing the unqiue epistemological features of each. O'Neil (1912-1991) was the most eminent Australian psychologist of his era at Sydney University. This work appears to have been written independently of the Kuhn- Popper-Lakatos-Feyerabend maelstrom in Europe and North America, but touches on very similar issues. Note: quoted shipping rates are calculated for 500-700 gram net weight, cost will be modified up or down as appropriate outside this range.
