In the analytical book offered to the reader by S.G. Bernatosyan contains unique scientific material that forces us to look at the history of science and its creators with different eyes, to think about the moral aspects of their work. The presented series of portrait revelations of many scientific celebrities of the past and present not only reads like an entertaining detective story - it clearly shows how great the damage is caused to humanity by scammers of all ranks and titles. Revealing to the reader in the course of the story many historical mysteries associated with the most famous major figures in world science , the fate of their discoveries and inventions and answering “strange” questions about who, for example, actually discovered the North Pole or the theory of relativity, why Krupp became the “cannon king” and Singer the “sewing man”, the author, in parallel, deeply and thoroughly examines problems of a psychological nature associated with personality traits and the creative process. "Theft and Deception in Science" can be called almost the only popular science publication in world literature entirely devoted to such delicate issues in the intellectual sphere of activity as plagiarism and fraud. The book undoubtedly benefits from the skillful presentation of interesting historiographical facts, which are presented not in a mirror image, but as they really were, and also because of the originality of the author's style. It seems that the world, depleted of emotions, will also appreciate this “innovation.”
