Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides a novel approach to a key topic in the history and philosophy of science, the role and status of prediction in the natural sciences.

Even in fields where the value of prediction is not disputed, the role and status of prediction may change, and it is not always clear when a prediction is worth testing.

Written by top scholars in the field, this book is of great interest to historians, philosophers, and other students and scholars of science.…
