Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2022
Narrative Science examines the use of narrative in scientific research over the last two centuries. Motivated and coordinated by the Narrative Science project, this volume offers integrated and insightful essays examining cases that run the gamut from geology to psychology, chemistry, physics, botany, mathematics, epidemiology, and biological engineering. Taking in shipwrecks, human evolution, military intelligence, and mass extinctions, this landmark study revises our understanding of what science is, and the roles of narrative in scientists' work.
