The Accidental Scientist

The Role of Chance and Luck in Scientific Discovery

Graeme Donald
Exploring the stories behind well-known discoveries and products such as the telephone, DNA fingerprinting and post-it notes, Graeme Donald shows how important chance and unintended consequences have been in scientific progression, whether Hedy Lamarr’s military invention in the 1940s that contributed to the mobile phone, or the events that led Darwin to revise his assumptions about the natural world.
