Description: Fabulous Science : Fact and Fiction in the History of Scientific Discovery, Paperback by Waller, John, ISBN 0198609396, ISBN-13 9780198609391, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK Drawing on the latest scholarship, John Waller shows that many of our greatest heroes of science were less than honest about their experimental data, and not above using friends in high places to help get their ideas accepted. He reveals how sheer effrontery and self-promotion propelled certain scientists to the fore, obscuring the vital contributions of others and the intrinsic merit of the ideas they overturned. Fabulous Science is an entertaining book, which resurrects the complex personalities, bitter rivalries, and intense human dramas that enliven and illuminate the history of science.
