«Charlatanería y cultura científica en el siglo XIX» is Irina Podgorny's essay on the history of science, published by Los Libros de la Catarata in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
On both sides of the American continent, swindlers, impostors and false scholars managed to infiltrate government offices, museums and scientific associations. The book explores how historiography has ignored or repeated their words without question, and how these charlatans gained political, ideological or economic advantage in the nineteenth century.
Work published in 2015 in the Investigación y Debate collection, with a paperback edition of 96 pages.
Intended for readers interested in the history of science, popular science and the margins of scientific culture.
