Product details

The book is very engaging and sometimes humorous.

Stuart Firestein is a professor and chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University, where his highly popular course on ignorance invites working scientists weekly to discuss with students what they do not know. Committed to promoting science to a broad audience, he serves as an advisor for the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's program on public understanding of science and received the Lenfest Distinguished Columbia Faculty Award in 2011 for outstanding achievements in research and teaching. He was also recently elected as an AAAS Fellow.

The book offers a fascinating insight into how everyday science is conducted and how individual scientists rely on failures to guide their research.

Failure is a book that.
