Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity was only 'confirmed' in 1919 because an eminent British scientist massaged his figures. Joseph Lister's famously spotless hospital wards were actually notoriously dirty. Gregor Mendel, supposed father of the science of heredity, never grasped the fundamental principles of 'Mendelian' genetics. Often startling, always enthralling, FabulousScience reveals the truth behind these and many other myths in the history of science. - ;The great biologist Louis Pas 606 $aDiscoveries in science$xHistory 615 0$aDiscoveries in science$xHistory. 676 $a509 700 $aWaller$b John$0942961 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777558103321 996 $aFabulous science$93824334 997 $aUNINA
