(4) YA Scientific Rivalries and Scandals series. Whether sequencing human DNA or discovering the cause of a viral epidemic, scientific research and collaboration should be motivated by discovery and the benefits to society. Yet these detail-rich books expose the arrogance, greed, and deception that can impede or hasten the scientific process. Photographs, diagrams, and sidebars complement the texts but contribute to a cramped design. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Scientific Rivalries and Scandals titles: The Race to Discover the AIDS Virus and Decoding Our DNA.
