Editorial Reviews
William R. Shea, Nature
"Gillispie's distinguished biography is a magisterial survey of one of the most influential scientists of the past two centuries. It is also a history of science at its most challenging." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Jean-Bernard Robert, Physics World
"This is a rich and extremely well documented presentation of Laplace's works, which will surely prompt many scientists to go back to the original texts themselves and find out more about this great French scientist." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
