"The first book to examine the prevalence of disputes over recognition and reward in modern science."--Robert Root-Bernstein, author of "Spark of Genius"

"This well-written book includes a series of eye-opening case studies of acrimonious conflicts over credit for scientific discoveries."--James E. Till, Albert Lasker Award winner for the codiscovery of stem cells
"A thought-provoking examination of the political side of high-stakes science."--"Kirkus Reviews"
"Scientists behave very badly indeed in this bracing polemic about endemic theft, fraud, and greed in the hallowed halls of science."--John Seabrook, New Yorker staff writer and author of "Flash of Genius"
