Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. LeVay, a neuroscientist and author of popular-science books, relates a dozen stories involving science going, in his words, “spectacularly, even horribly, wrong.” A man who receives a cutting-edge treatment for Parkinson’s later dies, possibly as a result of the treatment; a group of researchers enters an active volcano, under the mistaken belief that it’s dormant; a NASA exploratory mission fails; forensic evidence fingers the wrong man; and so on. The stories (cautionary tales, really) are intriguing and well told, but most readers will find themselves resisting the exposé angle; surely, in every scientific discipline, no matter how rigorously practiced, it’s possible to find cases where the system breaks down. It’s a bit ironic, too, that LeVay, who has seen his share of controversy over charges that some of his research cannot be repeated or verified, has written a book about the consequences of human error. Still, there is much of interest here, though readers may want to do some homework in order to form an informed opinion on some of the author's claims. --David Pitt --This text refers to an alternate edition.
