Serendipity Bridal Boutique owner Kate Peron is too busy organising other people's weddings to include love and fun in her own life. At the end of the day, she wants nothing more than to relax with a glass of wine, some chocolate biscuits and her favourite movie, Serendipity. But an unexpected kiss from hunky bartender Angus soon wondering if it's time to give love another chance. Fun-loving Angus makes her heart thump and knees wobble, and before long, Kate discovers a side of herself she thought she'd buried for good.

This is Morton Meyers' fascinating, entertaining, and highlyaccessible look at the surprising role serendipity played in some of themost important medical discoveries in the 20th century. Though within thescientific community a certain stigma is attached to chance discoverybecause it is wrongly seen as pure luck, happy accidents happen every dayand Meyers shows how it takes intelligence, insight, and creativity torecognize a "Eureka! I found what I wasn't look for!" moment and know whatto do next. Penicillin, chemotherapy drugs, X-rays, Valium, the Pap smear,and Viagra were all discovered accidentally, stumbled upon in search ofsomething else. In discussing these medical breakthroughs and others, Dr.Meyers makes a cogent, highly engaging argument for a more creative, ratherthan purely linear, approach to science.

Happy Accidents is a fascinating, entertaining, and highly accessible look at the surprising role serendipity has played in some of the most important medical discoveries in the twentieth century. What do penicillin, chemotherapy drugs, X-rays, Valium, the Pap smear, and Viagra have in common? They were each discovered accidentally, stumbled upon in the search for something else. In the 1990s, Pfizer had high hopes for a new drug that would boost blood flow to the heart. As they conducted trials on angina sufferers, researchers noted a startling effect: while the drug did not affect blood flow to the heart, it did affect blood flow elsewhere! Now over six million American men have taken Viagra in their lifetime. Winston Churchill once said, “Men occasionally stumble across the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing has happened.” Within the scientific community, a certain stigma is attached to chance discovery because it is wrongly seen as pure luck. Happy accidents certainly happen every day, but it takes intelligence, insight, and creativity to recognize a “Eureka, I found what I wasn't looking for!” moment and know what to do next. In discussing medical breakthroughs, Dr. Morton Meyers makes a cogent, highly engaging argument for a more creative, rather than purely linear, approach to science. And it may just save our lives!

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.

An exploration of the sadness, as well as the joy, of unexpected discoveries in history and life. Carol Mavor's first "happy accident" occurred in 1980 when visiting New York's Serendipity 3, a dessert café favored by Andy Warhol. Mavor's memory of eating a frozen hot chocolate became food for thought, nurturing accidental discoveries about art and literature. This book's happy, yet dark, accidents include Anne Frank's journal, discovered in the Secret Annex after the Second World War; Emily Dickinson's poems, scribbled on salvaged envelopes, hidden in a drawer; and Lolita, rescued from incineration by Nabokov's wife Véra. Mavor's writing is dependent on serendipity's layers of happenstance, rousing feelings of something that she did not exactly know she was looking for until she found it. All history is about loss, and in the case of this book, much of it is tragic--but Serendipity also offers the happiness that can be found in unexpected discoveries.

Reviews "Wow! A whole book devoted to serendipity. Serendipity is my favorite word in the English language and now, for the first time, I get it! I really get it and I know my life is going to change. Thank you Madeleine." - Elizabeth Bartlett, Single Mother of Three Product Description Sprinkled with inspirational and motivational insights and sayings, this book tells you everything you ever wanted to know about serendipity! Both elusive and compelling to most of us, serendipity is often defined as "a happy accident." But it's not an accident at all, Madeleine Kay tells us. "Serendipity is a faculty within us that finds, elicits and responds to the best in life and all it has to offer. It's that quality in us that creates order out of chaos, possibility out of potential . . . and reality out of possibility - the organizing principle that designs, directs and creates the life we want."
