Plastic Fantastic Bewertungen

'There are probably still more secrets under lock-and-key at Murray Hill and elsewhere, but for now Reich's engrossing book will be the last word on the matter.' - Peter Rodgers, Chief Editor, Nature Nanotechnology '...Reich's journalistic persistence and technical thoroughness yield a largely complete, often dramatic account of Schon's roguery and downfall.' - Booklist 'Eugenie Samuel Reich unpicks the tale with meticulous care.' - Philip Ball, Sunday Times '...a wonderful piece of forensic writing.' - Clive Cookson, Financial Times 'It is gripping stuff: a surprising page-turner that is well worth reading.' - New Scientist 'The book's real strength is the way it uses a journalistic approach to document what was happening on a week-by-week basis at Bell Labs...In doing so Reich uncovers a wealth of detail...that has not been published before. There are probably still more secrets under lock-and-key at Murray Hill and elsewhere, but for now Reich's engrossing book will be the last word on the matter.' - Peter Rodgers, Nature Nanotechnology 'A brilliant case study of research fraud.' - Clive Cookson, Financial Times
