About the Author:
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.
Review:
`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
