Review # 1 was written on 2007-08-17 00:00:00 Julius Brown Well, I learned that men are sheep. lysenko, supported throughout by stalin, claimed that genetics were a "western imperialist" science and was not de-frocked until the early 60s. Ruined lives and soviet agriculture.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-08-23 00:00:00 Stacey Richey I think of this book every time I hear a politician dismiss climate change. This is case study of what happens when politicians insert themselves in science.
