8vo (23.5 cm), X, 226 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (bookplate). "Did Newton fudge his figures? Who counted Mendel's peas? What lay behind Cyril Burt's disturbing statistics on race and intelligence? This work chronicles the famous frauds - from Piltdown man to the Hitler diaries - and unearths some lesser-known incidents buried in the scientific literature. Taking examples from all areas of science and medicine as well as anthropology, archeology and psychology the author explores the deceivers' motives and discusses the conditions and pressures that make fraud possible."
