E-Book Overview

Black Mischief is the cogent and absorbing story of an unusually fertile period in the contemporary science. Irreverent, witty, skeptical, and always informative, it is an anecdotal potpourri of scientific thought and the people who shaped it. Berlinski takes a protean look at the science establishment - as well as the personalities behind the scenes - in such fields as behavioral psychology, linguistics, and economics, and in so doing enlightens and entertains us beyond measure.
