商品描述

'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' Wall Street Journal
'Humorous, yet deep' Professor Charles Antoine

A rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, and 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 often like it that way. But occasionally, just occasionally, a complete fluke happens and changes everything as we know it.

From an untimely sneeze in a petri dish leading to the groundbreaking creation of antibiotics, to the incredible discovery of microwaves via melted chocolate, Accidental is a rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, and accidentally changing humanity for the better.

「誰說科學是枯燥的？肯定不是 Tim James」 紐約郵報

「幽默而深刻」 查爾斯·安托萬教授

一場關於科學失敗的驚心動魄的冒險，意外地使人類（大多）變得更好。

我們可能想像科學是一個突破和靈光乍現的過程。但實際上，科學在99%的時間裡都是錯誤的。

幾乎每一個科學家提出的想法都會被失敗的實驗或競爭的研究迅速推翻。科學的進展速度是每十年幾英寸，我們通常也喜歡這樣。但偶爾，真的偶爾，會發生一次完全的意外，改變我們所知道的一切。

從在培養皿中不合時宜的噴嚏導致抗生素的開創性創造，到通過融化的巧克力發現微波，意外的是一場關於科學失敗的驚心動魄的冒險，意外地使人類變得更好。
