Einstein's Luck by John Waller
The Truth Behind Some of the Greatest Scientific Discoveries
A lively exploration of how many celebrated scientific breakthroughs were shaped by luck, bias, ambition, and messy realities rather than pristine eureka moments. Through engaging case studies across physics, biology, and medicine, it dismantles heroic myths, reveals data massaging and misinterpretations, and shows how credit, controversy, and culture influence discovery. The result is a nuanced portrait of how science actually progresses and how legends about it are constructed.
