Beschreibung
'Who said science was dry. Certainly not Tim James. ' New York Post. 'James writes with infectious enthusiasm and optimism' Kirkus Reviews. 'A science teacher by profession, Mr. James knows how to get his audience's attention. ' The Wall Street Journal. '. Humorous, yet deep' Professor Charles Antoine. A rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, accidentally changing humanity (mostly) for the better. We may imagine that science is a process of breakthroughs and light bulb moments. But in reality, science goes wrong 99% of the time. Almost every idea a scientist comes up with is quickly disproved by a failed experiment or rival research. Science moves at a rate of inches per decade and we like it that way. But occasionally, just occasionally, a complete fluke happens and changes everything. From an untimely sneeze in a petri dish leading to antibiotics to the discovery of microwaves via melted chocolate, this is a rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, accidentally changing humanity for the better.
