Rocke, Alan J., 1948-. Nationalizing science: Adolphe Wurtz and the battle for French chemistry. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2001, xi, 443pp., very good dust-jacket, very good light brown cloth, thick green remainder stripe along bottom foredge. "After looking at the early careers of Wurtz's two mentors, Liebig and Jean-Baptiste Dumas, Rocke describes Wurtz's life and career in the politically complex period leading up to 1853. He then discusses the turning point in Wurtz's intellectual life - his conversion to the "reformed chemistry" of Laurent, Gerhardt, and Williamson - and his efforts (social and political, as well as scientific) to persuade his colleagues of the advantages of the new chemistry. He examines the effects of political patronage (or the lack thereof) and of the French government's insufficient material support of chemistry during the middle decades of the century. From there Rocke goes on to examine the rivarly between Wurtz and Marcellin Berthelot, the debate over atoms versus equivalents, and the reasons for Wurtz's failure to win acceptance for his ideas. The story offers insights into the changing status of science in this period and helps to explain the eventual course of both French and German chemistry."

Davies, Paul Sheldon. Norms of nature: naturalism and the nature of functions. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2001, xiv, 234pp., very good dust-jacket, very good black cloth, remainder stripe on bottom foredge. "In Norms of Nature, Paul Sheldon Davies argues against the prevailing view that natural norms are constituted out of some form of historical success - usually success in natural selection. He defends the view that functions are nothing more than effects that contribute to the exercise of some more general systemic capacity."- CONTENTS: Tracing links of causation -- Approaching the norms of nature -- Discarding selected functions -- Defeating promiscuity: hierarchical systems and systemic functions -- Naturalizing functions: evidence, methodology, and ontology -- Guiding inquiry: the theoretical roles of systemic functions -- Defining functional types: success and malfunctions. 9780262041874 ISBN 0262041871.
