Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Signed copy of the First paperback editon (1st ed., 1971), dated 29 Dec. 1983. xxix, 380 pp; 2 tables. Very Good+, in original wrappers. I once saw Cohen inscribe a copy of this book: 'One of my favorite books' -- he meant of his own, which says a lot considering how many he wrote. While he was derided in some scholarly circles -- his Franklin & Newton became known as 'Franklin & Cohen' among one particularly hostile set -- his substantial body of work will unquestionably be of everlasting importance to the field of history of science he did so much to help establish.
