Kritik
"This book, a historiographical one, is very useful as a reference.... The book is unique. It should be in all libraries that support graduate level history and philosophy of science and mathematics. Other libraries should consider purchasing it. Individuals familiar with the subject may wish to own it. Beginners should start with histories." -Mathematical Reviews

"It is really a valuable monograph which should be studied by every historian of mathematics." -Zentralblatt Math

"How good is the book? Well, quite good.... The main content of the other half is a collection of brief biographies of many significant historians of mathematics. I am very glad to have these.... Meanwhile, most history fanatics will want to have access to this book. . . . The upshot is that this is a book that should be in any library that tries to have a complete set of historical source material." -MAA Online

"This historiographic monograph is a great step forward, both in restoring this image and in detailing how histories of mathematics have been written.... The value of this book is further enhanced by a glossary of foreign terms and an extensive index. Anyone who is interested in the history of mathematics will enjoy and use this work.... Highly recommended." -CHOICE

"Forty-four authors from many countries contributed. ...There is biography section with portraits, as well as an extensive bibliography." -BookNewsmehr
