Praise for this book
'Idealizations in Physics is a highly recommendable work for any reader who wishes to approach the subject of idealizations in physics without renouncing either the technical precision of physical practices or the conceptual depth of the main lines of philosophical refection on the subject.' Javier Anta, Metascience
