[references for philosophy of science other than Popper, Feyerbend, Kuhn,
and Lakatos]:

An excellent book is Forsight and Understanding by Stephen Toulmin - in
some ways it anticipates Kuhn, but in my view gives a better interpretation.

Also, check out Giere for one of the "cognitive/constructive" approaches;
Salmon and Hemphill for covering law ideas; and a book edited by
Fredrick Suppes (can't recall title at the moment) which goes over
a number of different views.
