• Introduction: What's in this Book?; 1. Theory + Experiment do not a Science Make; 2. Dethroning the Queen; 3. A Nature more Negotiable.

'When the philosopher Nancy Cartwright looks at science … she challenges the image of scientists who simply produce bold theories and put these to experimental tests. She sees a rich and complex network of activities and methods; together they help us to develop the concepts in which our theories are formulated, build models and forge narratives with which to understand the world, and create the phenomena required to put these theories to work and to the test.'
