Happy Accidents Serendipity in Modern Medical Breakthroughs by Morton Meyers, M.D. ISBN: 9781559708197 $29.95 Hardcover Arcade Publishing What do penicillin, chemotherapy drugs, X-rays, Valium, the Pap smear, and Viagra have in common?

In discussing medical breakthroughs, Morton Meyers makes a cogent, highly engaging argument for a more creative, rather than purely linear, approach to science. It may just save our lives!
