"...a fascinating book that should be of interest to both chemists and philosophers...could profitably play a key role in a seminar about the methodology or philosophy of chemistry...it is philosophically stimulating and...makes many valuable points...I hope that the book will stimulate future projects..." (Chemical & Engineering News, March 22, 2004)

"...recommended..." (Choice, Vol. 41, No. 8, April 2004)

"...Berson´s newest book has considerable strengths. It is the type of work that should be read by all our colleagues, inside and autside of chemistry." (Stephan J. Weininger, Angewandte Chemie, 2003)

"Chemical Discovery is a fascinating book that should be of interest to both chemists and philosophers. Through insightful analysis of historical examples, Berson's important book will undoubtedly serve as a useful introduction to some of the core philosophical issues about theory testing to students and practitioners of chemistry" (Michael Weisberg, University of Pennsylvania, Chemical Engineering News, 2004)

"Chemical Discovery and the Logician's Program is a welcome addition to the literature of philosophy and history of science from the perspective of a thoughtful practitioner of chemistry." (Carmen J. Giunta, Le Moyne College, Syracuse, NY, Bulletin for the History of Chemistry, 1/2004)
