WEISBERG, M., Simulation and Similarity. Using Models to Understand the World. Oxford University Press, 2013. 224p. Hardback. Series: Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science. Michael Weisberg has given us a lovely book on models. It has very broad coverage of issues intersecting the nature of models and their use, an extensive consideration of long ignored concrete models with a rich case study, a discussion and classification of the many diverse kinds of models, and a particularly groundbreaking and innovative discussion of similarity concerning how models relate to the world ... his analysis is both clear and rich.
