88 Methods and Philosophy 



Bridgman, Percy Williams (Isis 37, 128-31, portr.): 

 1922: Dimensional analysis (New Haven). 

 1927: Logic of modern physics (New York). 

 1936: Nature of physical theory (Princeton).

Brown, Guy Bumiston:

 The author is an English physicist. 



Brunschvieg, L^on ( 1869-1944) : 



1922: L'experience humaine et la causalite physique (691 p., Paris; Isis 5, 

 479-83).

Campbell, Norman Robert (1880-1949): 



1928: An account of the principles of measurement and calculation (304 p., 

 London ) . 



The author was a physicist, engaged in industrial research. 



Cannon, Walter Bradford (1871-1945): 



1945: The way of an investigator. A scientist's experiences in medical research 

 (229 p., New York; Isis 36, 259 p., portrait). 



Cannon, professor of physiology in Harvard, was naturally influenced by Ber- 

 nard in many ways and particularly in the writing of these autiobiographical remi- 

 niscences. I would advise every student who has read Bernard's Introduction, to 

 read also Cannon's book. 



This book suggests that many other biographies and autobiographies of men of 

 science contain valuable information concerning not only the history of science (that 

 is obvious ) but also its philosophy and methodology. The best of those biographies 

 enable one to study various methods in action. A critical list of such biographies 

 would be very helpful but cannot be provided here and now.
