Sommario/riassunto

In When Historiography Met Epistemology , Stefano Bordoni shows the emergence of sophisticated histories and philosophies of science in French speaking countries in the second half of the nineteenth century. That process involved mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers, and was deeply linked to other processes that transformed the cultural and material landscape of Europe. In the literature, the emergence of the history and philosophy of science is chronologically associated with the turn of the twentieth century: the author points out that this meaningful starting point should be moved backwards. Since the 1860s, sophisticated histories of science and critical meta-theoretical remarks on scientific practice began to compete with naïve historical



reconstructions and dogmatic views on science.

A security specialist at the top of his game, he is on the cusp of wealth and power. Love is a distraction he simply can't afford.Struggling to bury memories of an unforgettable night, Nulli O'Hara chases her dream to a city fraught with violence and death. Six months later, she becomes a kidnapping target, and Jason is the man sent to keep her safe.More Than Strangers charts the journey of two reluctant lovers from the sands of the Middle East to the slums of South Asia.
