Title: How not to write a serious book
Review: I recently took a history of science course (the Learning Company) by Lawrence Principie, who holds dual appointments at Johns Hopkins (Organic chemistry and The History of Science). In one of the lectures he spent considerable time spotlighting this book and expressing his conviction that NO serious student of the history of science takes this book seriously. It is full of errors; the author misquotes sources and is generally thought of as a great example of how a book should not be written and how an author should not do his research. Read this book but don't take it seriously.
