Book, Hardcover John Charles Grant Ledingham Published in: 2007 Publisher: Facts Figures & Fun Language: English 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. Grants equally absorbing follow-up examines something more deliberate hoaxes and frauds. He takes us through a rogues gallery that features faked creatures, palaeontological trickery, false psychics, and miracle cures that arent so miraculous. See how ideology, religion, and politics have imposed themselves on science throughout history, from the Catholic Churchs influence on cosmology to Nazi racist pseudoscience to the Bush Administrations attempt to deny climate change. The themes, while entertaining as ever, are serious and timely.
