Adventures in Serendipity

This book is a mixture of Kaback’s life and his development as a scientist, both of which involve numerous serendipitous events. Thus, the title Adventures in Serendipity. For readers who may not be scientists, most of the science described can be scanned superficially or skipped altogether, as an equally important aspect of the book is to emphasize that there is more to science than just science. Also to be emphasized, if a good fairy appears with a magic wand and offers you the choice between being smart or being lucky, always pick lucky. But put your heart and soul into it whatever you do.
