    * Kuhn, Thomas S. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1996.

    This was the actual book that Thomas Khun originally first introduced his new idea of the paradigm shift. In the book, his basic definition for the shift was: 'a change in the basic assumptions, or paradigms, within the ruling theory of science.' The book also contains in-depth sections on Sir Karl Popper, Falsification and other prominent scientists and theories. This book is incredibly reliable because, not only does it have all the necessary information, it was written by our main subject, Thomas Khun.

    * Foster, Malcolm R. Guide to Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions. 12 March 1998. 10 March 2012 .

    Although this is quite an old source, it is a very useful guide to Thomas's Kuhn's The Structure Of Scientific Revolutions if one doesn't have enough time to read the actual book. It includes many quotes and phrases from the actual book and the author introduces new questions and ideas of his own. I researched the author of this article on the internet and I found out that he is a very reliable source. He has published many articles and is currently the professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
