Beginnings, Blunders and Breakthroughs in Science by Surendra Verma

Over the course of human history, "science" has consisted of as much fiction as fact. With verve and wit, this small volume traces the effort to replace one with the other.

You'll learn, with surprise and delight:
How anesthesia was discovered at a party When the term acid rain was invented Why the Cold War prevented the West from understanding heart disease Who, in the sixth century B.C., claimed that the earth is round What nineteenth-century woman (the daughter of a famous poet) was the world's first computer programmer How a sewage farm odor reducer benefited medicine Why the Riemann hypothesis remains mathematics' greatest unsolved problem Who announced that because Great Britain had "plenty of messenger boys," it had no need for the telephone How Vesalius, in 1543, scotched the idea that men have one rib fewer than women

READ THIS BEFORE BIDDING.
If you win please have your verified address ready. I ship on Tuesdays or at the very latest, Wednesdays, so if you don't have your address to me by Monday evening you will have to wait until the following week for me to ship your item. Since I am paying for shipping I will be sending this item out USPS Media Mail. That means mail time could (but not always) take as long as 10 business days depending on where they are shipping to. All shipments will have a tracking number. Just because you win the auction doesn't mean you get to change the shipping method!
Questions are gladly answered. Just remember that stupid questions get smart-ass answers.
Thanks for looking and bidding.
