"Careful, detailed, often eloquent."--Clark Glymour, British Journal for Philosophy of Science"Making Things Happen contains an elaborate presentation and defense of Woodward's manipulability theory of causation and causal explanation, a powerful alternative to extant theories in the field...The book contains an enormous wealth of ideas and detailed arguments...an extremely important contribution to the debates about causation and explanation. It will become an indispensable reference for anyone who wants to work on these topics."--Henk W. de Regt, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
