Suppressed Inventions & Other Discoveries: Revealing the World's Greatest Secrets of Science and Medicine

Jonathan Eisen has collected over forty intriguing stories of scientific cover-ups and programs of misinformation concocted to conceal some of the most phenomenal innovations in mankind's history. These no-holds-barred accounts force us to confront the naivete - and danger - of trusting our academic and political leaders to act always for the common good. This book presents documented evidence that corporate self-interest, scientific arrogance, and political savvy have contrived to keep us in the dark about technological breakthroughs or interplanetary contact that may shift the current balance of power.
