    Published second book: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
    In his book, Kuhn gives science a new turn. This was a series of publications that were finalized in 1970. He provides steps from pre-paradigm science to normal science (Marcum n.d.). He presented a new way of doing science that he called paradigm. In his theory, when a new paradigm replaces an older a scientific revolution occurs(Godfrey-Smith 2003, p.76)
