Omschrijving
Failure is a book that seeks to make science more appealing by exposing its faults. In this sequel to Ignorance, Stuart Firestein shows us that scientific enterprise is riddled with failures, and that this is not only necessary but good.
Energetic a close examination of how repeated failure refines problems, clarifying the way forward.
A breath of contemplative fresh air.
Engaging book ... his colloquial style ... is easy to read
This book will certainly make for an interesting read for scientists ... but Failure might also be of interest to non-scientists
The book is very engaging and witty at times
Stuart Firestein is Professor and Chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University, where his highly popular course on ignorance invites working scientists to come talk to students each week about what they don't know. Dedicated to promoting science to a public audience, he serves as an advisor for the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's program for the Public Understanding of Science and was awarded the 2011 Lenfest Distinguished Columbia Faculty Award for excellence in scholarship and teaching. He was also recently named an AAAS Fellow.
