'Brian J Ford comes at the tropic inductively, concentrating on an assiduous array of visual evidence. Images of Science provides just what the title suggests: hundreds of illustrations, thoroughly captioned, with a fact-based narrative. Ford is an extreme realist [who] demonstrates that rich, detailed observations often contradict theory. His attention to detail teaches a valuable lesson ...'

‘This is, on the whole, a fair account of BSE and the BSE
crisis ... the overwhelming message is the lamentable part played
by the Government. There is a second welcome message about
governmental ignorance and misunderstanding of science. I enjoyed
reading the book, as a readable, popular account. Most scientists
will be pleased that it extols the virtues of academic as opposed
to commercially driven research. The author ends with an
excellent set of suggestions for food safety and for the
Government understanding of science.’
