Gross makes his case for a rhetorical analysis of science with impressive virtuosity. His examples range from Copernican astronomy to contemporary peer review, from optics to oncology, and from Darwin's private notebooks to recent debates about recombinant DNA.
-- John Durant Times Literary Supplement
An intensely ambitious and assertive book. The examples are wide-ranging, the argument firmly wrought...As a reader I have relished the challenge it mounts.
-- Gillian Beer, Cambridge University
