Fraud Deceit Among Scientists, Academics,

While fraud is generally associated with the business world, this book demonstrates that there is also a good deal of fraud and deception among scientists, writers and philanthropists. Scientists will sometimes announce fraudulent findings in order to raise money for additional research projects. Since many scientists live by this "soft" money and have no other income, the temptation to claim results that never occurred is great.

Gerhard Falk is Professor of Sociology at the State University College at Buffalo.
