Rezension

`

Uneasy Genius
is a tribute not only to the physicist, philosopher, and historian who was Pierre Duhem, but also to the historian, philosopher and physicist who is Stanley L. Jaki.
'

John Lyon

`
On reste confondu devant le livre de Stanley L. Jaki, devant son érudition et l'accumulation de faits . . . Il a tout lu, tout fouillé, tout dépouillé! C'est un oeuvre magistrale qui ne laisse plus rien à écrire sur Pierre Duhem.
'

Analyses Bibliographiques

`
Ouvrage exceptionel . . . ; cette richesse de la documentation vient étayer chaque affirmation de ses dix chapitres.
'

Paul Germain, Secrétaire Perpétuel de l'Académie

des Sciences

`
. . . This is a book on an `uneasy genius' that deserves to be chewed and digested.
