Both excellent. See also:

Gustav Wetter, Dialectical Materialism (1958)
Loren R. Graham, Science and Philosophy in the Soviet
Union (1972).
David Joravsky, Soviet Marxism and Natural Science,
1917-1932 (1961)

That's pretty much the standard short bibliography of
works in English on the subject of the Soviet Diamat.
Norman and Sayers' exchange is a litle off point, not
being so closely tied to the Soviet expeience, being
pitched at a more abstract level, and coming more out
of Maoism. A better book in that vein, coming from a
ex-Trot perspective, is

Tony Smith, The Logic of Marx's Capital, Replies to
Hegelian Criticisms (1990)

Must go pick up daughter. But I really think highly of
Smith's book, and even Ralph might like it, who knows.
