At the Edge of Uncertainty:11 Discoveries Taking Science by Surprise  by Michael Brooks investigates the new wave of unexpected insights that are shaping the future of scientific discovery. The atom. The Big Bang. DNA. Natural selection. All ideas that have revolutionised science - and that were dismissed out of hand when they first appeared. The surprises haven't stopped. Through eleven radical new insights, Brooks takes us to the extreme frontiers of what we understand about the world. When we think about science, we often think of iron-clad facts. But today more than ever, our unshakeable truths have been shaken apart. As Michael Brooks reveals, the best science is about open-mindedness, imagination and a love of mind-boggling adventures at the edge of uncertainty.
