Scientists often try to understand the world by building simplified and idealised models of it. Adam Toon develops a new approach to scientific models by comparing them to the dolls and toy trucks of children's imaginative games, and offers a unified framework to solve difficult metaphysical problems and help to make sense of scientific practice.
From award-winning research which changes the world to textbooks and study guides which educate and inspire, we publish across the humanities, social sciences and business for academics, students, professionals and librarians worldwide.With offices in London and New York, and sales teams across 50 countries, we have a global reach and as part of Macmillan Science and Education, are proud to uphold an unbroken tradition of over 170 years of academic publishing.
