Synopsis

Most science chronicles present a triumphant march through time, with revolutionary thinkers and their discoveries following in orderly progression. But the truth is far more entertaining.Mad Men and Scandalous Scientistsexamines the most vicious battles among the greatest minds of our time--such as Huxley and Wilberforce's debate on Darwin's theory of evolution and the shocking “War of Currents” between Tesla and Edison. From passionate competition to vindictive sniping, these rivalries prove that the world of science is far from cold and methodical. Reissue ofScientific Feuds.
