Books on the Philosophy of Science

The best book on the philosophy of science that I have come across is Nola and Sankey (2007). The others are almost dismissive of probability/the Bayesian methodology, in other words, they naively dismiss what science is all about, e and the only effective unifying framework. Baring that in mind, the best of the rest is Ladyman (2001).

Useful for postmodernist baloney detection:
Intellectual Impostures by Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont
Higher Superstition: The Academic Left and Its Quarrels with Science by Paul R. Gross and Norman Levitt
