Of Moths and Men by Judith Hooper
The tale of a flagrant scientific fraud and its cover-up, and scientific incompetence behind the most important paradigm in evolutionary biology: Charles Darwins Theory of Evolution.‘A riotous story of ambition and deceit’ Dava Sobel, author of ‘Longitude’ and ‘Galileo’s Daughter’
‘A salutary and fascinating tale in which the men get as muddled up as the moths.’ The Times
‘Extraordinary, even-handed, highly entertaining and scrupulously researched.’ TLS
‘An absorbing account of a flawed if not fraudulent experiment reveals an all-too human side to scientists that will annoy professionals and enthral laypeople in equal measure.’ Guardian
‘Hooper gives a valuable reminder that even scientists can be underhand, incompetent and less than objective…She warns us that “lepidopterists can be crushing bores if you're not one of them”. Thankfully, despite a large cast of those enthusiasts, the book is never dull.’ Scotland on Sunday
Judith Hooper has written for Esquire, Atlantic Monthly Review and The New York Times Book Review and is the author of one previous book, The Three Pound Universe.
