Reich dives into the riveting world of science to examine how fraud perpetuates itself today.A SchA¶na??s rise and fall will be an essential and fascinating account of the missteps of the scientific community for years to come.A Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Plastic Fantastic: How the Biggest Fraud in Physics Shook the Scientific World (Macmillan Science) (Eugenie Samuel Reich)
