520    Press and Tanur argue that subjectivity has not only 
       played a significant role in the advancement of science 
       but that science will advance more rapidly if the modern 
       methods of Bayesian statistical analysis replace some of 
       the more classical twentieth-century methods. — SciTech 
       Book News. "An insightful work." ― Choice. "Compilation 
       of interesting popular problems … this book is 
       fascinating." — Short Book Reviews, International 
       Statistical Institute. Subjectivity ― including intuition
       , hunches, and personal beliefs ― has played a key role 
       in scientific discovery. This intriguing book illustrates 
       subjective influences on scientific progress with 
       historical accounts and biographical sketches of more than
       a dozen luminaries, including Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, 
       Darwin, Pasteur, Freud, Einstein, Margaret Mead, and 
       others. The treatment also offers a detailed examination 
       of the modern Bayesian approach to data analysis, with 
       references to the Bayesian theoretical and applied 
       literature. Suitable for lay readers as well as science 
       specialists, this survey will also appeal to historians of
       science and those interested in knowing more about the 
       Bayesian approach.
