What is Discovering Cell Mechanisms: The Creation of Modern Cell Biology (Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Biology) about?

Cell Biology Was A Revolutionary Science In Its Own Right, But In This Book, It Also Provides Fuel For Yet Another Revolution, One That Focuses On The Very Conception Of Science Itself. Laws Have Traditionally Been Regarded As The Primary Vehicle Of Explanation, But In The Emerging Philosophy Of Science It Is Mechanisms That Do The Explanatory Work. William Bechtel Emphasizes How Mechanisms Were Discovered By Cell Biologists, Focusing Especially On The Way In Which New Instruments - The Ultracentrifuge And The Electron Microscope Made These Inquiries Possible. He Also Describes How Scientists Organized New Journals And Professional Societies To Provide An Institutional Structure To The New Enterprise.--jacket. 1.
