Short review
As someone with little background in the philosophy of science, I found this book very readible and informative of the broad ideas philosophers have had about what science is and how it should work. If you are pursuing a career in science, it seems like a no-brainer to have an overview of the scientific enterprise at large, and of some of the major epistemic issues faced in science, e.g. relating to induction, evidence, and belief, all of which this book approaches with clear language and plenty of examples. I really appreciate that Godfrey-Smith avoided sesquipedalianism (unlike myself) and dense language; generally, what he means seems quite clear.
