Synopsis
In "Discarded Science," John Grant took a fascinating look at all the things science got wrong through the centuries. But at least those were honest mistakes. Grant s equally absorbing follow-up examines something more sinister: deliberate hoaxes and frauds. He takes us through a rogue s gallery that features faked creatures, palaeontological trickery, false psychics, and miracle cures that aren t so miraculous. See how ideology, religion, and politics have imposed themselves on science throughout history, from the Catholic Church s influence on cosmology to Nazi racist pseudoscience to the Bush Administration s attempt to deny climate change. The themes, while entertaining as ever, are serious and timely.", The main ways that people can corrupt science - or at least try to - are through hoax and fraud. Both may be perpetrated by laymen or scientists and also through ideological and political corruption; the intent in both instances is to mislead the public. This sequel to Grant's 'Discarded Science - Ideas That Seemed Good at the Time' - introduces the world of fraud and deception rather than the gentler realms of mistake and ignorance - a serious and timely theme. For everyone interested in the history of scientific thinking and the evolution of ideas and theories., In "Discarded Science," John Grant took a fascinating look at all the things science got wrong through the centuries. But at least those were honest mistakes. Grant's equally absorbing follow-up examines something more sinister: deliberate hoaxes and frauds. He takes us through a rogue's gallery that features faked creatures, palaeontological trickery, false psychics, and miracle cures that aren't so miraculous. See how ideology, religion, and politics have imposed themselves on science throughout history, from the Catholic Church's influence on cosmology to Nazi racist pseudoscience to the Bush Administration's attempt to deny climate change. The themes, while entertaining as ever, are serious and timely.
