Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1st Edition. Condition: Very Good in Good dust jacket A playful, erudite classic of the history and sociology of science: Merton's genealogical hunt for the source of Newton's "if I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants," told in a deliberately Sterne-esque, digressive style. Widely beloved among historians of science and much-quoted outside the field as well — blurbed here by Umberto Eco, Stephen Jay Gould, Jacques Barzun, and Lionel Trilling, among others. This is the Vicennial (20th-anniversary) edition, adding Merton's own retrospective preface and an afterword by Denis Donoghue. Condition Boards are sound and square. Spine cloth shows light wear/scuffing at the head and tail with minor fraying, consistent with light shelf handling; no looseness in the text block noted. Dust jacket is bright and glossy with the original two-tone cartoon design intact; light edge wear is visible at the corners. Shipping / Returns Carefully packed for shipment. Domestic shipping via USPS Media Mail unless otherwise requested. Expedited and international shipping available where permitted. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks policies. SCI 5a.…
