It is a seldom acknowledged fact that many of our greatest scientists were less than honest about their experimental data. Some were not above using friends in high places to help get their ideas accepted, and some owe their immortality not to any unique discovery but to a combination of astonishing effrontery and their skills as self-promoters.

This richly entertaining book will transform the way we think about science and scientists.
