Feature

★The most complete collection of pranks that have made (and sometimes changed) the history of science, from Franklin to Tesla, from CERN to Science.

Description

NASA announcing that they found hell on Mercury. The journal Nature publishing a study on dragons. Virgin founder Richard Branson landing a fake UFO in the countryside near London. And then there are research papers signed by dogs, cats, hamsters… and "Professor Beastly Bastard."

Over the last 150 years, scientific journals, research institutions, and scientists worldwide (including Nobel laureates) have devised spectacular pranks. This book collects them for the first time: ironic and provocative, these jokes often serve to expose prejudices and stereotypes, bringing unexpected scientific (and human) truths to light. A book to learn while laughing and laugh while learning.
