Preston,

    RE: books on philosophy of science, I don't believe anyone mentioned the
following as good resources: two books by Robert Klee:
       (1) _Introduction to the Philosophy of Science: Cutting Nature at its
Seams_ (OUP, 1997)
       (2) _Scientific Inquiry: Readings in the Philosophy of Science_ (OUP,
1999)
The first book provides a clear exposition of major ideas from logical
positivism to scientific realism. The second is a reader coordinated with
the first. It contains selections by 20th century philosophers of science
and covered the main developments. You'll find short pieces by such
notables as Duhem, Popper, Quine, Putnam, Kuhn, Feyerabend, and Laudan,
among others.

Bob
