BOOK REVIEWEDLaws of Men and Laws of Nature: The History of Scientific Expert Testimony in England and America

by Tal Golan

Harvard University Press: 2004. 336 pp. $49.95, £32.95; euro dollar46.10

Change one word — write 'trials' in place of 'laws' — and this appealingly readable book would just as appropriately be titled Trials of Men and Trials of Nature. For trials are the stuff of Tal Golan's engaging narrative as he briskly guides his readers through some of the formative moments in a century or so of scientific expert testimony in English and American common law.
