Abstract

This collection of fifteen talks from a 1989 symposium at Stanford comes as a welcome addition to the small literature dealing with scientific and mathematical thinking. Those interested in this subject will want to obtain this book, along with its predecessor (Langley, et al, 1987), an exposition of the topic rather than an edited collection of research reports.
