<p><b>Nominated for the best popular science book of 2024 by Smart Book.</b><br><br>'Who said science was dry? Certainly not Tim James'<b><i>New York Post</i></b><br> 'James writes with infectious enthusiasm and optimism'<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><br> 'A science teacher by profession, Mr. James knows how to get his audience's attention' <i>Wall Street Journal</i><br> 'Humorous, yet deep' <b>Professor Charles Antoine</b><br><br><b>A rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, and accidentally changing humanity (mostly) for the better.</b><br><br>We may imagine that science is a process of breakthroughs and light bulb moments. But in reality, science goes wrong 99% of the time.<br><br>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. <br><br>From an untimely sneeze in a petri dish leading to the groundbreaking creation of antibiotics, to the incredible discovery of microwaves via melted chocolate, <i>Accidental </i>is a rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, and accidentally changing humanity for the better.</p>
