Review:
"This work is indispensable and unique....An excellent account of how Jacksonian science reached a springboard to break through to become part of American culture."--CHOICE
"What I like most about Daniel's book is not that it's always right--it isn't--but that it's always provocative. It's more interpretative than any of the other chronological volumes on science in America."--Ronald L. Numbers, University of Wisconsin-Madison
