About the Book

From ground-breaking discoveries to disastrous dead-ends, science isn't always, well ...scientific. Without some catastrophic mess-ups, the world might never know modern marvels, miraculous medicines, magnificent machines and much more. This dynamically illustrated book brings to life the rebel scientists who stuck out their necks to achieve our greatest leaps forward, and uncovers the shocking truth about the biggest blunders - and most unexpected successes - ever to happen in the lab.

About the Author :
Dan Green graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in Earth Science. He is the author of several non-fiction books for children, including the bestselling Basher series. Dan lives in London and loves to travel.

Review :
Science doesn't always go the way it is expected to! But not working out as planned need not be a problem as this interesting book shows with its novel approach to science. Many of our modern marvels, miraculous medicines and magnificent machines owe their origin to unexpected results of scientific exploration. The jazzy layout of the book is dramatic and eye-catching and bound to appeal to its target audience as they meet the rebel scientists who were determined to bring their ideas to fruition. It's a fascinating read, one I can see adults picking up and browsing through with as much interest as children. Fascinating. Parentsintouch.co.uk If you are looking for ways to encourage your pupils to start thinking and working scientifically, as explicitly required by the new National Curriculum, then this rather brilliant book by the ever-engaging Dan Green could prove to be just the inspiration your classroom needs. By focusing on the personalities involved in some of the most significant investigations and discoveries throughout the history of science, Green is able to present the theories and conclusions themselves in a way that is not only accessible for young readers, but irresistible too. His 'braniacs' and 'boffins' aren't dull old men in white coats - they're zany, volatile and curious, with fascinating tales to tell. Yes, they are mind-bogglingly smart, but they break all the rules, argue with each other and make mistakes, too, as Green reveals through a series of story pathways lined with anecdotes, interrupted by face-offs between major minds, and occasionally leading to a dead end when things go wrong. Irreverent illustrations by David Lyttleton complete the package perfectly. -- Helen Mulley Teach Primary Magazine
