Description

 							Experimental brain surgery goes horribly awry; a dam fails catastrophically; a geologist leads an ill-equipped
party to its doom in the mouth of an active volcano: these are the amazing and sometimes horrific stories of technical
errors and scientific mistakes that LeVay (The Sexual Brain) relates. Some, like the case of the British meteorologist
who failed to predict a hurricane that killed 18 people, seem due to arrogance. Others—the loss of a costly
spacecraft, a criminal conviction based on inaccurate DNA analysis, multiple deaths after an accidental release of
anthrax—are the result of ordinary human error. Some incidents may well have been deliberate, such as a nuclear
reactor error that was possibly the result of a love triangle gone bad, or the data falsified by a physicist seeking
fame as the discoverer of a new element. LeVay surveys a range of fields, offering several reasons why things go wrong
and noting that for every brilliant scientific success, there are a dozen failures. Readers curious about particularly
notorious cases will find LeVay's book both entertaining and thought provoking.
  
  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
