Abstract
Thomas Kuhn In addition to providing us with the above epigraph [516],1 Thomas Kuhn wrote a book on the history and philosophy of science entitled The Structure of Scientific Revolutions [515], which has sold over a million copies and remains in print after four and a half decades. Upon first reading this book in the early 1960s, I did not realize that the program of research that I was then embarking upon — theoretical and experimental studies of nonlinear wave motion — would soon become part of a Kuhnian revolution.
