Summary

Lab Error Wins explores the surprising role of mistakes and accidents in major scientific breakthroughs. Challenging the traditional view of the scientific method, the book highlights how serendipity in science and the re-evaluation of errors have led to unforeseen discoveries. Scientific progress isn't always a linear path; sometimes, the most significant advancements arise from unexpected outcomes. For instance, the discovery of penicillin, a classic example, emerged from an accidental contamination in a lab, demonstrating how keen observation can transform a mistake into a revolution.

 
The book examines historical periods from alchemy to pharmaceutical research, using case studies to illustrate how perceptions of error have evolved. Each chapter dives into specific instances - like the invention of Teflon or vulcanized rubber - detailing the initial research goals, the nature of the error, and the ultimate breakthrough.

 
By analyzing original research journals and lab notebooks, Lab Error Wins reframes errors as potential sources of innovation, offering practical strategies for researchers to capitalize on accidental discoveries and encouraging a more resilient approach to scientific exploration.

    The Three Graces of Val-Kill changes the way we think about Eleanor Roosevelt. Emily Wilson examines what she calls the most formative period in Roosevelt’s life, from 1922 to 1936, when she cultivated an intimate friendship with Marion Dickerman and Nancy Cook, who helped her build a cottage on the Val-Kill Creek in Hyde Park on the Roosevelt family land. In the early years, the three women—the “three graces,” as Franklin Delano Roosevelt called them—were nearly inseparable and forged a female-centered community for each other, for family, and for New York’s progressive women. Examining this network of close female friends gives readers a more comprehensive picture of the Roosevelts and Eleanor’s burgeoning independence in the years that marked Franklin’s rise to power in politics. 
Wilson takes care to show all the nuances and complexities of the women’s relationship, which blended the political with the personal. Val-Kill was not only home to Eleanor Roosevelt but also a crucial part of how she became one of the most admired American political figures of the twentieth century. In Wilson’s telling, she emerges out of the shadows of monumental histories and documentaries as a woman in search of herself.

    When the name Guadalcanal is mentioned, most picture Marines desperately fighting in the dense jungles and the United States Navy in dramatic surface battles. That story, though true, tells only part of the campaign. Less well known is the role played by the United States Army. While the Marines landed and fought off several Japanese counterattacks it was the Army's soldiers who followed and bore a large share of the brutal ground fighting that stretched on for months. These fights were not "mopping up" actions normally associated with the Army, but brutal battles against a determined enemy.Arriving under difficult conditions and often overshadowed by their naval brethren, the Army's contributions on Guadalcanal have too often been relegated to the footnotes of history. This account finally brings them out of the shadows, recounting their contribution through a blend of operational history with clear soldier perspectives. Drawing on official records, terrain analysis and firsthand testimonies, the book provides new accounts from multiple perspectives, including Japanese sources not previously published. Units such as the 25th Infantry Division, Americal Division and the 147th Infantry Regiment are covered in detail.Dave Holland, a former United States Marine and law enforcement investigator, spent three years on the ground, studying the battlefields through research, investigation, and documentation. Drawing on his military experience and investigative skills, Holland offers a detailed analysis of the campaign with attention to the role of terrain. Following on from his first work, Guadalcanal's Longest Fight, this book serves as a companion to tell the complete land campaign story.
