I am also indebted to Jed Buchwald for encouragement and helpful comments and to Larry Cohen for taking on the manuscript at a relatively early stage. Without their concerted efforts, it would have taken a much longer time to complete this book. Chapters 1 and 2 have been previously published in Studies in History and Philosophy of Science and Science in Context, respectively. I wish to thank Elsevier Science Ltd. and the Cambridge University Press for their permission to include them here.
