Summary

Failed Experiments delves into the surprising history of science by examining experiments that went hilariously wrong. It reveals how flawed hypotheses and experimental errors, often driven by the zeitgeist of the time, paradoxically contributed to scientific progress. The book explores how even ludicrous attempts can reveal truths about the natural world, while also navigating the ethical considerations surrounding experiments involving humans and animals. The book argues that failure is not the opposite of success but a crucial component of it.

 
It starts by establishing the scientific method and experimental design principles, then thematically groups case studies, such as those fueled by superstition or those plagued by methodological flaws. By analyzing what went wrong, the book emphasizes the importance of embracing failures as learning opportunities. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the scientific process and the iterative cycle of experimentation, observation, and revision.

    The Exquisite Machine - The New...

    Your heart is a miracle in motion, a marvel of construction unsurpassed by any human-made creation. It beats 100,000 times every day—if you were to live to 100, that would be more than 3 billion beats across your lifespan. Despite decades  
of effort in labs all over the world, we have not yet been able to replicate the heart’s perfect engineering. But, as Sian Harding shows us in The Exquisite Machine, new scientific developments are opening up the mysteries of the heart.  
And this explosion of new science—ultrafast imaging, gene editing, stem cells, artificial intelligence, and advanced microscopy—has crucial, real-world consequences for health and well-being.  
 
Harding—a world leader in cardiac research—explores the relation between the emotions and heart function, reporting that the heart not only responds to our emotions but creates them as well. The condition known as broken heart  
syndrome, for example, is a real disorder that can follow bereavement or stress.  
 
The Exquisite Machine describes the evolutionary forces that have shaped the heart’s response to damage, the astonishing rejuvenating power of stem cells, how we can avoid heart disease, and why it can be so hard to repair a damaged  
heart. It tells the stories of patients who have had the devastating experiences of a heart attack, chaotic heart rhythms, or stress-induced acute heart failure. And it describes how cutting-edge technologies are enabling experiments and clinical  
trials that will lead us to new solutions to the worldwide scourge of heart disease.

More than one hundred species of kingfishers brighten every continent but Antarctica. Not all are fishing birds. They range in size from the African dwarf kingfisher to the laughing kookaburra of Australia. This first book to feature North America's belted kingfisher is a lyrical story of observation, revelation, and curiosity in the presence of flowing waters. 
 
 
 
The kingfisher—also known as the halcyon bird—is linked to the mythic origin of halcyon days, a state of happiness that Marina Richie hopes to find outside her back door in Missoula, Montana. Epiphanies and a citizen science discovery punctuate days tracking a bird that outwits at every turn. The female is more colorful than the male (unusual and puzzling) and the birds' earthen nest holes are difficult to locate. 
 
 
 
While the heart of the drama takes place on Rattlesnake Creek in Missoula, the author's adventures in search of kingfisher kin on the lower Rio Grande, in South Africa, and in London illuminate her relationships with the birds of Montana. In the quiet of winter, she explores tribal stories of the kingfisher as messenger and helper, pivotal qualities for her quest. For all who love birds or simply seek solace in nature, Halcyon Journey is an inviting introduction to the mythic and mysterious belted kingfisher.
