It recounts the story of one of the most successful frauds in modern science, and takes a look at the group of men who were behind the initial "discovery" and who supported it. Although Charles Dawson, the ?discoverer? has always been blamed, the culprit has never really been found, but it is supposed that it must have been one of this group who first put the elements in place, and triggered the find.* This is a GOOD copy of the 1st./1st. with some age and shelf wear.*
