"The Copernican Revolution"
Harvard University Press published Kuhn's book "The Copernican Revolution." An important note within this book is that Kuhn identified the importance of "plurality." Furthermore, the significance of plurality is that all scientists hold a commitment to a certain philosophical background or religion. This highlights the issues around original standing points towards a theory. -
"The Structure of Scientific Revolutions"
In this book Kuhn dives in to the history of science in which he explains his paradigm shift model. He lays down the common chain of events that occur after an assumption or crisis has happened within an era of scientific research. This book is extremely important if you work in the field of science.

The term "Normal Science"
Step number one in Kuhn's paradigm shift cycle is "normal science." He is the founder of this term and it is more important than it simply appears. The term itself is pretty self explanatory but it is the period within the framework of a specific paradigm/era in which appears to look stagnant if it were to be analyzed on a timeline. It looks that way because most of all processes, progress, methods, etc. are going at a normal rate. -
"The Essential Tension"
Kuhn published this collection of fourteen essays that covered a variety of critically profound topics like "the relations between the history and philosophy of science." These essays provide a valuable outlook on a range of philosophically-science-related topics.
