Ignorance: How It Drives Science
Firestein, Stuart (Professor and Chair, Department of Biological Sciences, Professor and Chair, Department of Biological Sciences, Columbia University, New York, NY, USA)
Contrary to the popular view of science as a mountainous accumulation of facts and data, Stuart Firestein takes the novel perspective that ignorance is the main product and driving force of science, and that this is the best way to understand the process of scientific discovery.
