THE ACCIDENTAL SCIENTIST: THE ROLE OF CHANCE AND LUCK IN SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY

Book ID/图书代码： 09220012B58260

English Summary/英文概要： Have you ever wondered how the ideas for some things come about? Surprisingly often it is as much down to chance as a single person’s brilliance. The Accidental Scientist explores the role of chance and error in scientific, medical and commercial innovation, outlining exactly how some of the most well-known products, gadgets and useful gizmos came to be. From the jacuzzi to jeans and TNT to Tipp-Ex, this book explores many of the discoveries that we are all so familiar with today, yet have the most interesting origins because of the story behind them. Not all discoveries require brilliance, and as The Accidental Scientist demonstrates, sometimes a special ingredient is needed: luck.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你是否感到疑惑，有些绝妙的好点子是怎么来的？是因为想出这些点子的人聪明非凡？《偶然的科学发明》阐述了科学，医药，商业等领域发明中的偶然与失误起到的作用，以及那些最为人熟知的产品，工具和小玩意到底是怎么被发明出来的，包括水流按摩浴缸，牛仔裤，炸药，狄美思等，都有很有趣的起源。并不是所有的发明都需要非凡才智，有时候需要的仅仅是运气。（XAT）
