"Whether seasoned professionals or novices engage in science, it is an enterprise constructed by minds acting both individually and in interaction with one another. It is essential to investigate the social and cognitive processes involved because they shape the final product. This book does a service in demonstrating the multiple and wide-ranging perspectives that need to be brought to bear in pursuing these essential investigations." -Deanna Kuhn, Professor of Psychology and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University

"Including most of the leading scholars in the field and covering an impressive range of topics, this book is a must-have for everyone interested in the psychology of science." -Hanne Andersen, Head of the Center for Science Studies, and Associate Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University
