The Structure of Scientific Revolutions: 50th Anniversary EditionA good book may have the power to change the way we see the world, but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness, pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted, and we forget how provocative and challenging its ideas once were and still are. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that kind of book. When it was first published in 1962, it was a landmark event in the history and philosophy of science. Fifty

A good book may have the power to change the way we see the world, but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness, pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted, and we forget how provocative and challenging its ideas once were--and still are. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that kind of book. When it was first published in 1962, it was a landmark event in the history and philosophy of science. Fifty years later, it still has many lessons to teach.

With The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Kuhn challenged long-standing linear notions of scientific progress, arguing that transformative ideas don't arise from the day-to-day, gradual process of experimentation and data accumulation but that the revolutions in science, those breakthrough moments that disrupt accepted thinking and offer unanticipated ideas, occur outside of "normal science," as he called it. Though Kuhn was writing when physics ruled the sciences, his ideas on how scientific revolutions bring order to the anomalies that amass over time in research experiments are still instructive in our biotech age.

This new edition of Kuhn's essential work in the history of science includes an insightful introduction by Ian Hacking, which clarifies terms popularized by Kuhn, including paradigm and incommensurability, and applies Kuhn's ideas to the science of today. Usefully keyed to the separate sections of the book, Hacking's introduction provides important background information as well as a contemporary context. Newly designed, with an expanded index, this edition will be eagerly welcomed by the next generation of readers seeking to understand the history of our perspectives on science.

This is gonna be long, so bear with me.
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Large
First of all, I didn't receive the pictured item. I got the "Large" sized barbell chew, and the one pictured is the "mega monster" chew. This review is for the "mega monster" chew which is what's pictured. I have an 80 pound, 1-year-old lab, and this has actually helped her calm her chewing anxieties. She's become less destructive, and a lot more calmer. She even listens now that her hyper-ness has dwindled down. The chew I got was the one with the golden retriever- which is the large size. It's the exact same thing and the size I'm reviewing (the one that's pictured with the lab). The one with the 'golden retiever' is recommended for sizes 25-50 pounds. The one I needed (the one that is pictured) is for dogs 50 pounds and up, so it's perfect for my lab. (Are you with me still?) Anyway, I didn't wanna go through the 'returning and waiting for my new product' process, and I didn't wanna risk getting the same wrong product again. So I just took it to my local pet store and exchanged it for what I wanted in the first place when I ordered this, and paid the difference, which was like 3 bucks. SO, overall this the quality of this item is amazing! My lab is a strong chewer, and she's entertained herself with this product for long periods of time leaving barely a dent in it. I highly recommend it!

DIEGO LOVES THIS CHEW TOY

Excellent
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
I will purchase this again and again as long as it is made in the USA. I have bought this specific toy 3 times for one of my dogs. He still has all three of them. They are durable, long lasting and are not dangerous like some toys are if they start to come apart or after they’ve been chewed on for a while. With these chew toys, you can tell they’ve been chewed on but they don’t fall apart or come apart in large chunks. I watch my dogs with their toys and have had to take away other toys, even from Nylabone, because large pieces will come off or they will get too sharp where they’ve been chewed. Not this one. I’ll keep buying this one as long as it is USA-made. My dog has not damaged his teeth on this toy. I do get the wolf size which is good for dogs up to 50 pounds and he is 66 pounds.

Some dogs will probably love this.
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
My dogs were not very excited about this bone. I don’t think they are particularly picky, so I’m not sure why.
