'In this brief but insightful work, Currie makes a compelling case for the validity of historical science. Currie is noted for his 'optimistic' analysis of the possibilities of historical science … This intriguing book deserves to be widely read by those interested in the nature of historical science.' Bruce S. Bennett, Metascience
