Corrupted Science

Corrupted Science

John Grant2007
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.
