Reviews
'This is a wonderful book. It is rare that a book collects chapters that both discuss experimental methods as well as research on the frontiers of knowledge. This is a must-read for both the novice and the veteran experimentalist as well as those outside the field'
--Andrew Schotter, New York University, US
