From the names of cruise lines and bookstores to an Australian ranch and a nudist camp outside of Atlanta, the word serendipity--that happy blend of wisdom and luck by which something is discovered not quite by accident--is today ubiquitous. This book traces the word's eventful history from its 1754 coinage into the twentieth century--chronicling along the way much of what we now call the natural and social sciences. The book charts where the term went, with whom it resided, and how it fared. We cross oceans and academic specialties and meet those people, both famous and now obscure, who have used and abused serendipity. We encounter a linguistic sage, walk down the illustrious halls of the Harvard Medical School, attend the (serendipitous) birth of penicillin, and meet someone who "manages serendipity" for the U.S. Navy. The story of serendipity is fascinating; that of The Travels and Adventures of Serendipity, equally so. Written in the 1950s by already-eminent sociologist Robert Merton and Elinor Barber, the book--though occasionally and most tantalizingly cited--was intentionally never published. This is all the more curious because it so remarkably anticipated subsequent battles over research and funding--many of which centered on the role of serendipity in science. Finally, shortly after his ninety-first birthday, following Barber's death and preceding his own by but a little, Merton agreed to expand and publish this major work. Beautifully written, the book is permeated by the prodigious intellectual curiosity and generosity that characterized Merton's influential On the Shoulders of Giants. Absolutely entertaining as the history of a word, the book is also tremendously important to all who value the miracle of intellectual discovery. It represents Merton's lifelong protest against that rhetoric of science that defines discovery as anything other than a messy blend of inspiration, perspiration, error, and happy chance--anything other than serendipity.

These poems are a very personal collection. They represent the last fifteen years of my deeper subconscious thoughts and emotions. I faced the common teenage heartbreak, but it was not until later in my life that I really knew what true heartbreak was. Ironically, I did not write during these times. Some poems in this collection are directly related to specific true events, however so many of them I look at wonder--was it really me who wrote them? They take me by surprise even now. The content is almost cryptic to even those closest to me. My deepest, strongest feelings have been brought out in this collection. The poems are dated by year to create a story of the paths my emotional life took.

Elizabeth Atkins is gifted. She can work such wonders with a pencil and piece of paper that even the ‘Old Masters’ would nod in awe. However, the nods Elizabeth gets from her teachers are more out of concern than admiration. Elizabeth’s senior high school years begin with a wake-up call. Her daydreaming days are over. Reality is about determination, hard work, focus and fairies...........Fairies!!!!?? Now, that’s a surprise. Elizabeth knows, like most other girls and boys, and their mums and dads that fairies only exist in fairy tales. What she doesn’t know is that there are exceptions. Serendipity, the pink winged fairy turns out to be one of them. 'Serendipity' is not a fairy tale. It is more ‘a tale with a fairy in it’. Elizabeth’s magical companion encourages her to cast her own spell. Through their unique bond, Elizabeth learns that a good measure of self-confidence, determination and honesty is the perfect potion to work wonders. For years to come, Elizabeth holds her most precious treasure close to her heart - Serendipity’s words; ‘The magic is within you.’
