''The Hockey Stick Illusion: Climategate and the Corruption of Science'' is a book written by Andrew Montford and published by Stacey International in 2010. Montford, an accountant and science publisher who publishes a blog called ‘Bishop Hill’〔 provides his analysis of the history of the "hockey stick graph" of global temperatures for the last 1000 years and the controversy surrounding the research which produced the graph. The book describes the history of the graph from its inception to the beginning of the Climategate controversy. Since its release, the book has received a mixture of positive and negative reviews; ''The Guardian'' referred to it as "Montford's entertaining conspiracy yarn",〔 while ''The Spectator'' described it as "a detailed and brilliant piece of science writing"〔 and ''The Sunday Telegraph'' described it as "a remarkable scientific detective story".〔 The book was Amazon UK's second bestselling environment book of 2010.〔 〕 ==Background== According to Montford, in 2005 he followed a link from a British political blog to the Climate Audit website. While perusing the site, Montford noticed that new readers often asked if there was an introduction to the site and the story of the hockey stick controversy. In 2008, after the story of Caspar Ammann's "purported" replication of the hockey stick became public, Montford wrote his own summary of the controversy.〔 Montford published the summary on his Bishop Hill blog and called it ''Caspar and the Jesus paper''.〔 Montford states that word of his article caused the traffic to his blog to surge from several hundred hits a day to 30,000 in just three days. Montford adds that there was also an attempt to use his article as a source in Wikipedia. After Montford saw the hockey stick graph used in a science book manuscript he was reviewing, he decided to expand his article into book form.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Hockey Stick Illusion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
