Story
Knowledge is a big subject, says Stuart Firestein, but ignorance is a bigger one. And it is ignorance - not knowledge - that is the true engine of science. Most of us have a false impression of science as a surefire, deliberate, step-by-step method for finding things out and getting things done. In fact, says Firestein, more often than not, science is like looking for a black cat in a dark room, and there may not be a cat in the room.

Story
In his sequel to Ignorance (Oxford University Press, 2012), Stuart Firestein shows us that the scientific enterprise is riddled with mistakes and errors - and that this is a good thing! Failure: Why Science Is So Successful delves into the origins of scientific research as a process that relies upon trial and error, one which inevitably results in a hefty dose of failure. In fact, scientists throughout history have relied on failure to guide their research, viewing mistakes as a necessary part of the process.

Story
Nesta abordagem original sobre a natureza da pesquisa, Stuart Firestein faz um elogio aos mistérios científicos e às incertezas que motivam os cientistas ao demonstrar que a ignorância é o verdadeiro combustível da busca por conhecimento. A ignorância ― e não o conhecimento ― é o verdadeiro motor da ciência. Essa é a premissa deste livro de linguagem ágil e acessível, baseado no curso de enorme sucesso que o neurocientista Stuart Firestein oferece há anos na Universidade Columbia.
