An excellent piece of work...definitely cutting edge, clearly written, significant and original.

Wade Hands, University of Puget Sound Individualism and the Unity of Science is an important book for anyone concerned with issues of reduction and explanation in the sciences as well as for those concerned with individualism in the social sciences, especially because it brings together some of the strongest empirical evidence yet marshalled against reductionism and individualism. -- Steve Clark, La Trobe University Australian Journal Of Philosophy This book is a gem... well organized, clearly argued, and deeply provocative. Highly recommended for all collections in the philosophy of science. -- L. C. Archie, Lander University CHOICE
