''Who said science was dry? Certainly not Tim James.'' New York Post

''James writes with infectious enthusiasm and optimism'' Kirkus Reviews

''A science teacher by profession, Mr. James knows how to get his audience''s attention.'' The Wall Street Journal

''Humorous, yet deep'' Professor Charles Antoine

A rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, accidentally changing humanity (mostly) for the better.

We may imagine that science is a process of breakthroughs and light bulb moments. But in reality, science goes wrong 99% of the time.

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 like it that way. But occasionally, just occasionally, a complete fluke happens and changes everything. From an untimely sneeze in a petri dish leading to antibiotics to the discovery of microwaves via melted chocolate, this is a rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, accidentally changing humanity for the better.
