Reveals the different ways that living creatures have been - and still are - used in scientific discovery. Packed with fascinating vignettes from the rich history of 500 years of science. The stories are by no means confined to the traditional idea of the laboratory, nor are the subjects exclusively animals and plants: we range from the streets of Paris to the Galapagos Islands, and read of artificial life, and scientists who experimented on themselves. Sheds light on many issues in the practice and philosophy of science - as Harré redefines traditional ideas of apparatus, instrumentation, and the 'bricks and mortar' laboratory. Leaves the ethical issues entirely to the reader to reflect upon. Written by a widely respected philosopher of science. Looks at many recent examples from modern science, such as the famous 'Vacanti Mouse'
