实验如何结束
作者：
I. Hacking;P. Galison
加利森出色地讲述了三个实验事件的历史：电子的旋磁比的测量、μ介子（或μ子）的发现以及弱中性流的发现。这些对实际实验的研究将为科学哲学家和科学史家提供有价值的材料，并且加利森自己关于实验本质的思考极其重要……加利森给哲学家和历史学家提供了很多值得思考的内容。我强烈建议你阅读这本书。——艾伦·富兰克林，《英国科学哲学杂志》
任何真正关心了解研究是如何进行的人都应该读这本书。关于其主题的某个方面已经有很多书籍，但很少有书能如此深入地洞察研究是如何进行的以及关于发现的共识是如何达成的。——弗兰克·克洛斯，《新科学家》
（加利森）创作了该领域的一部杰作，值得祝贺。——迈克尔·雷德黑德，《综合》
《实验是如何终结的》是一部关于一个令人兴奋的主题的重要历史著作。——安迪·皮克林，《伊西斯》
"Galison provides excellent histories of three experimental episodes: the measurement of the gyromagnetic ratio of the electron, the discovery of the mu meson, or muon, and the discovery of weak neutral currents. These studies of actual experiments will provide valuable material for both philosophers and historians of science and Galison's own thoughts on the nature of experiment are extremely important. . . . Galison has given both philosophers and historians much to think about. I strongly urge you to read this book." Allan Franklin, "British Journal of the Philosophy of Science" "Anyone who is seriously concerned with understanding how research is done should read this. There have been many books on one or another part of its subject matter but few giving such insights into how the research is done and how the consensus of discovery is arrived at." Frank Close, "New Scientist" "[Galison] is to be congratulated on producing a masterpiece in the field." Michael Redhead, "Synthese" ""How Experiments End" is a major historical work on an exciting topic." Andy Pickering, "Isis""
