"Much of the book is devoted to examining the generalizations and extensions of the basic MG idea...essential reading for those who wish to gain a deep understanding of this idea" - Dean Rickles Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics

"The book will be useful beyond economics, the philosophy of economics, and the philosophy of physics since it deals in an elementary way with issues of modelling. Therefore, I recommend it as much to philosophers of sciences (looking for some novel case studies and examples) as to philosophers of physics." - Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics 38
