- That's Fred Suppe (no 's': That's Pat Suppes). The book is _The
- Structure of Scientific Theories_. It is a good book in terms of
- explicating a number of positions (very thick as well). By the
- way, it's 'Hempel'. A good (though aging) treatment of the D/N
- model is to be found in Nagel's _The Structure of Science_. One
- should also look at Clark Glymour's _Theory and Evidence_.
