  • Praise for Peter Forbes's Dazzled & Deceived

    24 Nov 2009

    “The natural armoury of deceptions as depicted in Dazzled and Deceived is astounding, and the history of research into the phenomenon is just as surprising … Forbes presents an authoritative account of research into mimicry and brings it bang up to date”

    Gail Vines, New Scientist

    “This may well be the only book on evolution that we will ever review on this site, and it’s a good one … a fascinating story of scientific discovery and controversy, coming right up to the present day. Forbes does a very good job of explaining some very complicated theories, and has produced a classic work of popular science.” HistoryofWar.org

Once upon a time there was an English kingdom in France and Juliet Barker has brought it to extraordinary life.” Bernard Cornwell, Mail on Sunday
